Electric Fiat 500 Spiaggina

The cool Fiat 500 Spiaggina, an iconic Italian design, has been reimagined by Bonacina and Garage Italia Customs. This fully electric version involves removing the roof and doors of the original 1969 donor car, with stability maintained by a reinforced safety cell. Approved for road use, it features hand-molded bumpers and handmade seats woven from durable natural rope, replacing traditional wicker.

Garage Italia Customs, founded by Lapo Elkann, is renowned for its bespoke car customizations and the electrification of classic cars through their Icon-e project. The new electric Spiaggina can be recharged using any standard domestic power socket in a few hours. Its design pays tribute to Vittorio Bonacina's 1950s original, with customizable rattan-core woven seats available in various colors. This eco-friendly vehicle combines modern technology with classic style, ensuring a memorable ride.
