1957 Fiat 500 Nuova STI power

MotoeXotica Classic Cars rarely says “one of a kind”, but there just cant be another 1957 Fiat 500 Nuova like this one. This car was the subject of a ground up build by a meticulas owner who spared no expense in building this Fiat Performance MONSTER! It even has the aggressive stance of a Tarantula!

The Fiat 500 was a city car produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1957 and 1975. Launched as the Nuova 500 in July 1957, it was a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only 9 feet 9 inches long, and originally powered by an appropriately sized 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term “city car” and is considered one of the first city cars.

The body has been finished in a Fiat Light Ivory with “carbon fiber” vinyl striping to break up the solid white. The carbon fiber look continues on to the hood with the addition of stainless steel vinyl covering the hood held down by two rubber hood pins. A nice fitting black original equipped roll back convertible top is in great condition. To accommodate the larger wheels and tires, fiberglass fender flares are seamlessly attached. The basic chassis is all round-section tubed, while the engine/trans hoop is square section. Construction is well executed, with substantial looking tubing and a generally well-thought out layout. All the trim and is present and in good condition along with the both bumpers.

Inside, the pair of black vinyl sport seats with supportive bolstering replace the original seat. Black door panels and grey carpet complete the interior fabric. The original dash is complimented with all Auto-Meter Ultra-lite II backlit gauges, including a Auto-Meter speedometer mounted in the center of a four spoke Formuling steering wheel. EMS Stinger Engine Management system, with laptop programability and Greddy pro-fec b spec II boost controller. Keeping the engine cool, is an oversized C&R dual pass radiator with 3000 cfm computer controlled fan. A professionally built custom 10 point roll cage and set of street legal wheelie bars, keep everything safe.

This 1957 Fiat 500 Nuova project was completed by a single owner five years ago in Denver Colorado The car rides on a custom tube chassis with a ten-point roll cage. The engine is a 2.5 L Subaru EJ25 that has been upgraded with T3/T4 turbocharger, Bosch 500 injectors, and twin Pierburg fuel pumps. Running off a Greddy Profec B-spec II boost controller and an EMS Stinger ECU, the engine produces 300 horsepower to the wheels. The engine is connected to a Porsche G50 LSD transaxle via a Kennedy Engineered Products adapter and then is connected to a pair of Porsche 930 CV joints. Include with this car is an parts catalog, extensive collection of receipts and documents of this $14,700 ground up build, and that’s just hardware, that doesn’t even include the labor cost and knowledge to build this insane machine!

This Ivory Fiat 500 Nuova is an real attention grabber, whether it be on the drag strip or to show at events…GET OUT AND DRIVE!
