Fiat 500 Blackjack

Following in the tyre tracks of cars such as the Ford Focus RS500 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class DR 520, Fiat has jumped onboard the matt black bandwagon.



Its offering is somewhat less high performance though, and the unique features of the 500 Blackjack special edition are purely cosmetic. Apart from the paint, these include leather upholstery, 16” alloys, red brake calipers and a gloss black finish for the door handles, mirrors and bumper trim.

There’s no doubt that matt black looks good on the small Fiat. However, it remains to be seen how well it will stand up to the scuffs and scratches that come with hard city use.



When the Blackjack goes on sale in September, buyers will be able to choose from the usual selection of Fiat 500 petrol and diesel offerings, including the recently-announced two-cylinder TwinAir engine.



UK prices for the Fiat 500 Blackjack have yet to be confirmed.
