A few months ago, two legendary names in Italy, maestro Andrea Bocelli and the FIAT 500, came together to create the ultimate audio experience for an all-electric vehicle. In collaboration with JBL, the 500 became the first electric city car to be equipped with "Virtual Venues" technology, thanks to the advanced JBL Premium Audio system mastered by Bocelli.
"I am very happy about this bold partnership", said Maestro Andrea Bocelli. "The search for beauty has always been my main pursuit. Thanks to the FIAT 500, a landmark of style, we joined forces to offer an experience of harmony for all the senses. With the innovative technology we have developed, every ride is filled with emotions and the voice in us (because we all sing with our hearts) will feel the experience of being in a theatre, an open concert hall or a recording studio..."
Initially available exclusively for the limited edition version named after the Italian musician, FIAT and JBL now offer the innovative system as an option on all versions of the popular electric model.
The buyer chooses the body version that best suits their needs (Hatchback, Convertible, 3+1) and can then add the high-fidelity system, tuned by Andrea Bocelli, to provide the ultimate audio experience in an electric car. With 320W of power, the system has functions such as "intelligent" sound modulation according to speed and the sounds present in the cabin, and is sophisticated to work perfectly in both the closed versions (Hatchback and 3+1) and the Cabrio version.
The customer's choice of the advanced system is accompanied by the addition of particularly rich equipment, which among other things includes items such as: glass sunroof (Hatchbcack and 3+1), 17''' alloy wheels, full-LED lights with automatic switching of the large staircase, park-assist 360o, heated seats, etc.
Prices for the new 500 electric series start from 25,250* euros, through the benefits of the state subsidy programme, Moving Electric II. In line with FIAT's new strategy, the customer with complete flexibility can add to the already fully equipped "basic" version the equipment packages that meet his needs, configuring in a simple and transparent way the car he wants. Finally, the all-electric 500 is covered by a 5-year factory warranty for up to 200,000km, while the battery coverage is 8 years for up to 160,000km.
*Includes the benefit of the government's Electric Mobility II program and FIAT offer.
