Fiat and Lupin the 3rd have teamed up in a partnership that’s as sleek as it is exciting.
For those not in the know, Lupin the 3rd is a legendary Japanese manga and anime series created by Monkey Punch. The titular character, Arsène Lupin III, is a master thief with a penchant for stylish heists and high-speed escapes and he drives a fiat. Well, anyone with an eye for cars might spot that crest as the two toned Abarth scorpion crest - or in other words Fiats racing branch. Now, Fiat, known for their chic and compact cars, has decided to bring a bit of that Lupin flair into their lineup, since a race car probably wouldn't be street appropriate.
This partnership is all about celebrating the spirit of adventure and style. Fiat has introduced a limited-edition version of their popular 500 model, decked out with Lupin-themed design elements. Think eye-catching graphics, exclusive badges, and interior touches that pay homage to the suave thief’s escapades. It’s like taking a piece of anime magic and rolling it right onto the road.

Lupin the 3rd’s stories are all about pushing boundaries and defying expectations, which aligns perfectly with Fiat’s approach to design and technology. Plus, this partnership brings a fresh, fun twist to Fiat’s lineup, appealing to both anime fans and car enthusiasts alike.
