Windsor, Ontario – At the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show, in the city known as a global leader and trendsetter in electric vehicles and fashion, the FIAT brand revealed the new 2025 Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition, the perfect balance of elegance, style and sustainability.
An embodiment of made-in-Italy design, the Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition is a statement piece, reflecting Giorgio Armani’s expertise and the refined artistry of FIAT’s Centro Stile design studio in Turin, Italy. “The Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition represents the finest expression of Italian design, bringing together two legendary icons in the Fiat Cinquecento and Giorgio Armani,” said Aamir Ahmed, head of FIAT brand North America. “Featuring Armani’s unparalleled design influence, including two bespoke colour combinations and high-end touches befitting an Armani fashion collection, not to mention the artistry instilled by the FIAT Centro Stile design team, the 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition epitomizes the exceptionality of Italian design and craftsmanship.”
Produced at the FIAT Mirafiori plant in Turin, the Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition is the result of an immersive collaboration between the Italian designer and the FIAT design team: a vehicle crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and dedication to quality expected in a fashion collection.
For the exterior, designers focused on achieving a sleek, monochromatic look that seamlessly aligns with Armani’s aesthetic. The most striking feature of the exterior design are the wheels, custom-made to display the GA logo on a grand scale, ensuring the car makes a bold impression from a distance. The design enhances aerodynamic efficiency through a subtle three-dimensional surface. The wheels feature a sophisticated, burnished two-tone anodized finish and precise lateral grooves, adding elegance to the overall appearance.
Two distinguishing and exclusive colours have been specially created, each underlying the car’s elegant design. The first is a signature green, a unique and technically advanced colour that mirrors Giorgio Armani’s style and refined taste. Both timeless and modern, the second is ceramic Greige, a sophisticated and unmistakable shade created by Armani that merges grey and beige.
The interior, inspired by Armani/Casa and the fashion collection, exemplifies great craftsmanship. Chevron stitching and three-dimensional patterns on the central seat inserts evoke traditional tailoring techniques, while materials within the cabin blend cutting-edge and artisanal methods. Innovative touches include a laser-cut dashboard insert that offers an exquisite woodgrain appearance and delivers the soft touch of luxurious fabric. This is complemented by an intricate embroidery that showcases a dedication to fine, handmade expertise. The vehicle also features the Giorgio Armani logo on the front-seat headrests, with the designer’s signature displayed on the dashboard, interior door panels and rear window, reinforcing the collaboration’s distinctive character and attention to detail.
For audiophiles, the seven-speaker JBL audio system features four Virtual Venues hand-selected by Maestro Andrea Bocelli, offering listeners a virtual-reality audio experience that changes the acoustic characteristics of the car depending on the chosen location. The different ambient sounds include: My Music Room – An intimate musical experience as if the artist was playing right in front of you. My Recording Studio – Pure acoustics and beautiful tones of a real recording space, Giuseppe Verdi Opera House, Pisa – Feel the nature of music in a theatre setting, enjoying a live performance and Open-air Arena – Hear the unmistakable acoustics and feel the energy of an open-air arena
Additionally, the 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition is offered with the latest safety equipment, ADAS and Level 2 assisted driving technology, ensuring both advanced functionality and a safer driving experience. The Fiat 500e is the first all-electric car in its segment to offer Level 2, hands-on driver-assist technology.
The lightest passenger BEV in the market, the 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition features a 42-kWh battery with a Level 2 (11 kW) charge time of 4.5 hours. BEV capability combined with quintessential design cues make it unmistakably FIAT, with style and sustainability at its core.
Under the hood, the 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition is driven by an electric motor with an output of 117 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering spirited performance while managing range, 0-48 km/h in under three seconds, and delivers a range of up to 227 kilometres (149 miles). The 2025 Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition will be available in the first quarter of 2025. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
