If there’s something the Fiat brand knows all too well is that new trim editions can help stir some attention and boost sales.
Joining a long line of special versions of its retro-penned city car is the new 500 Street for the UK market, which can be identified on the outside by dark tinted windows and alloy wheels (with red surrounds for the center caps) and satin chrome finished mouldings, handles and door mirrors.
The Street model is offered with a choice of three engines including the 1.2-liter and 0.9-liter MultiAir petrols and a 1.3-liter MultiJet 2 diesel and five colors named Bossanova White, Pasodoble Red, Crossover Black, Electroclash Grey and Matt Black.
In Britain, OTR prices start at £11,360 for the 1.2, £12,760 for the 0.9 TwinAir and £13,760 for 1.3 diesels.
According to the Italians, the Street models cost £1400 more than the respective 500 Pop variants, while featuring £1800 worth of extra equipment including air conditioning, sports seats, 16-inch alloy wheels, Blue&Me infotainment, leather steering wheel with radio controls, and rear spoiler.
