Originally launched in 1936, the Fiat 500, fondly nicknamed Topolino, was reintroduced by Stellantis earlier this year as a quadricycle. This modern version, now named the Fiat Topolino, mirrors the designs of the Opel Rocks Electric and Citroën Ami, featuring a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) and a 46-mile (74 km) range.

In honor of Disney's 100th anniversary and Mickey Mouse's 95th, Fiat has crafted five unique Topolino EVs. Each of these one-off models showcases a different theme: historical, modern, street, and abstract, reflecting Mickey Mouse's rich history and cultural impact. The fifth design was a collaborative effort with Disney artist Cavazzano.

A special exhibit showcasing all five themed Topolinos will be featured at the Lingotto building in Italy. This iconic location, also celebrating its centenary in 2023, is renowned for its rooftop test track, famously appearing in the 1969 film 'The Italian Job.' This collaboration between Fiat and Disney serves as a creative intersection of automotive and entertainment history.
