Fiat 500 Blackjack Limited Edition

Fiat's latest Limited Edition 500 - The Fiat 500 Blackjack Anything MINI can do, Fiat can do too with the Fiat 500. So – in the best MINI school of marketing style – yet another Fiat 500 is to hit the road – this time the Fiat 500 Blackjack. The Fiat 500 Blackjack is a cash-in on that flavour of the moment – matt wrap (we are assuming it’s a wrap) – to give a matt black 500, which actually looks rather good to our eyes.

UK electric car sales hit record high

While electric cars may not have taken off as quickly as the likes of Renault and Nissan had hoped, the latest figures from the government’s £5,000 electric car grant scheme show that sales have leapt 25% in the last quarter.

Sitting as it does between a car and motorcycle, it's fitting that a team formed of designers and engineers from both Honda's car and motorcycle departments developed the vehicle. While visually it appears close to the Renault Twizy thanks to its fared, outboard wheels and digital display on its nose, it offers a fully-enclosed cabin for three.
