Fiat is throwing a spectacular birthday bash for Mickey Mouse’s 100th, and they’re doing it in style with Mickey-themed Topolino EVs. Now, if you’re wondering, Topolino isn’t just a car; it’s the cute nickname for the original Fiat 500 from 1936. They brought it back this year, and it’s not your typical car—it’s a quadricycle, topping out at 28 mph with a 46-mile range.
Now, let’s talk Disney magic! “Topolino” is the Italian name for Mickey Mouse, and with Disney hitting the big 100 in 2023, Fiat thought, why not celebrate? They’re cooking up five one-off Topolino EVs featuring the iconic mouse co-created by Walt Disney. Fun fact: Mickey Mouse made his grand entrance 95 years ago in Steamboat Willie.
Here’s the fun part: Four of these beauties will rock unique themes – historical, modern, street, and abstract. And the fifth? Oh, it’s a special collab with Disney artist Cavazzano, bringing some extra enchantment to the streets. Want to catch a glimpse? Head to the special exhibit in Italy at the Lingotto building’s north ramp.
