Everybody knows that unorthodox styling and high fuel efficiency are Fiat's top selling arguments for the tiny 500. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Italian automaker presented a coupe variant by famous coachbuilder and domestic partner Zagato.

The concept is basically the same size as the regular 500 yet it looks longer thanks to trick rear side window styling. Now featuring a smooth triangular shape, the glass is highlighted by a dark grey contour that matches nicely with the Pop Yellow body paint.

The coupe also sports Zagato's signature ''double bubble'' roof and restyled 17-inch wheels with colour-coordinated mirror caps.

Performance comes from a two-cylinder TwinAir turbocharged engine, tweaked to produce 105 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque.
