Fiat 500 Convertible Teaser Sketches - Official Photos to be Released Next Week


Fiat has just announced that the first official photographs of its all-new Fiat 500 Convertible will be released on Monday, February 16, two weeks ahead of the car's world premiere at the at the Geneva Motor Show. But to just to keep us on our toes, the Italian automaker uploaded two teaser sketches as well as a fuzzy photos of the rag-topped 500 on its dedicated micro site. The teaser shots confirm earlier reports that 500 Convertible will not be equipped with a fully retractable rooftop but instead, it will feature a folding-back canvas top covering the roof and the rear glasshouse.

Following its introduction in Geneva, the 500 Convertible will go on sale across Europe by summer 2009, and if all goes well with the proposed partnership between the Fiat Group and Chrysler LLC, we could see it coming to North America.

The canvas-top 500 is expected to be offered with the same powertrain options as the tin-top model including 1.2-liter and 1.4-liter gasoline engines and a 1.3-liter turbo diesel.
