Fiat Topolino zero emissions interpretation of Spiaggine

Thanks to the backstage video of the new Fiat Topolino commercial, which Stellantis released at the same time as the first official image of the minicar, it is possible to put together a puzzle that clarifies many qualifying details of this unprecedented (and in many ways elitist) electric beach.
Thanks to its classification as a quadricycle – which can be driven even without a B license like the Citroen Ami from which it derives, and the subsequent Opel Rocks-e – the new Fiat Topolino has the potential to compete in the mini car segment for sixteen-year-olds (and adults who have lost their driving license B) on the strength of a price which, thanks to the incentives, will certainly be lower than the petrol and diesel ‘machines’.

But above all, at least in this refined ‘beach’ version, it seems to position itself in the area of ​​the now precious Ghia Jolly derived in the 50s and 60s from the Fiat 500 and 600 rather than in the popular national version of the Topolino ancestor presented on 15 June 1936. It will do so – it is clear – with all the advantages offered by modern on-board technologies and with zero-emission electric propulsion.
The Topolino beach will also have to deal with a rival in the family, that is the limited series version (only 1,000 units) of the Citroën My Ami Buggy which can only be ordered online from 20 June 2023 at 10.00. Like the Fiat model, My Ami Buggy has no doors and is clearly intended for the summer.
We recall that the Ami – launched in April 2020 – has literally revolutionized the micro-mobility market with its atypical design, with a length of 2.41 meters and with the possibility of being recharged in 4 hours with a simple 220 Volt socket , these prerogatives that will certainly be found also in the Topolino.
