Title: Fiat previews the Topolino as its next new electric vehicle
Post by: Redaktion on June 01, 2023, 17:48:27
Fiat has announced that it is reviving one of its most legendary pieces of branding in a new all-electric vehicle (EV). Then again, the new Topolino is not so much a car as it is a quadricycle. It is, as such, pitched at the extreme budget end of the EV market, and is now hyped as so metropolitan, sustainable and stripped-back that even its doors are optional.

Isn't this pretty much a ripoff of the Citroen AMI?

From the article:

QuoteThat might be why Fiat has chosen to evince the Topolino, or 'first 500' of the 1930s, in the vehicle's naming and marketing. However, the return of the original's long mouse-like nose is nowhere in evidence here - in fact, it is pretty apparent from the new EV's squashed-in shape that it is in fact a rebrand of the Citroen Ami.
