If ever there was an award for the most special editions of a car, Fiat 500 would be running quite close, if its not the eventual winner. And if you thought Fiat 500 By Diesel was too flashy and fashionista, meet the all new Fiat 500 BlackJack edition.
Finished in matte black with glossy black accents and red at the center of massive 16 inch black alloy wheels and red brake calipers for the 1.4 liter model to break the monotony, the 500 has gone into stealth mode. The new model will be available with both the 1.2 liter and 1.4 liter engines with production run limited to just 200 units for the UK market.
While no details have been mentioned about the interiors apart from “Special carpet mats” we won’t be surprised if its as black as the exteriors. Why not a special edition like this for India too, Fiat Please?
The new car costs £12,165 OTR (1.2) and £13,565 OTR (1.4).

Press Release
FIAT 500 LIMITED EDITION IS BACK – AND THIS TIME IT’S BLACK
Following on from the success of the Fiat 500 Pink, another unique limited edition version of the popular city car has been announced – the Fiat 500 BlackJack.
Just 200 examples of the matt black supermini will be available when it goes on sale next week. As with previous special edition 500 models, the BlackJack will initially be available on-line only at www.fiat.co.uk.
The BlackJack name reinforces the character of this car: irreverent and mysterious. The 500 BlackJack is the first vehicle in this segment to offer the special paint, and is one of several exciting Fiat 500 limited editions being introduced this year.
Based on the 1.2 and 1.4 Sport specification, the Fiat 500 BlackJack features:
- Individual matt black paint finish
- Mouldings, door handles, door mirrors and plate holder in metallic effect
- 16-inch alloy wheels in matt black with red coach line
- Red brake callipers (1.4 only)
- Special carpet mats
The 500 BlackJack – like all Fiat 500s – comes as standard with Fiat’s Start&Stop, which stops the engine automatically whenever traffic conditions bring the car to a complete halt, and restarts it immediately the driver wants to move off again.
“The paint finish is the most striking feature of this new limited edition,” says Elena Bernardelli, marketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK and Ireland. “It has previously been a characteristic of new supercars, and gives the Fiat 500 a stunning new image. I am sure the BlackJack will be a huge hit with Fiat 500 fans.”
The new car costs £12,165 OTR (1.2) and £13,565 OTR (1.4).
One Response to “Fiat Launches The Matte Black 500 BlackJack Edition”
I really like the new fiat 500 blackjack, the paint finish is the most striking feature of this new limited edition. Perfect city cars for big cities like London, where you can never find a parking space and if you do they are just too small to fit in.
