Fiat at the 1000 Miglia 2025: Celebrating 70 Years of the 600

Fiat joins the 2025 edition of the 1000 Miglia to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the iconic Fiat 600, combining the presence of the historic 1955 model with its modern "Support Cars", the Fiat 600 Hybrid and the Abarth 600e, thus reaffirming its unique legacy of tradition and innovation on the roads of the "world's most beautiful race".

This edition of the 1000 Miglia holds special significance for FIAT, as it commemorates the fundamental role of the Fiat 600 in Italy. A rare light blue 1955 Fiat 600, first series, usually housed at the Centro Storico Fiat in Turin, will take its place on the starting grid of the race.

Behind the wheel of the 1955 Fiat 600 will be an all-female crew: Laura Confalonieri, Deputy Director of Ruoteclassiche, and Valentina Menassi, journalist and contributor to Il Giornale. Both are experienced journalists and passionate advocates of automotive heritage, perfectly embodying the spirit of this celebration.

The Fiat 600 is a piece of history and a symbol of post-war Italian ambition to mobilise the nation, complementing and surpassing the beloved 500 "Topolino". Its presence in the race also pays tribute to Dante Giacosa, FIAT's most celebrated designer, whose 120th birth anniversary will be celebrated in 2025. Giacosa left an indelible mark on Italian automotive history with iconic models like the Topolino, the 600, and the 500, vehicles that helped make mobility an accessible right for all.

The 600 Hybrid, equipped with a smooth and efficient hybrid powertrain powered by the new turbocharged T-gen3 engine and paired with a new dual-clutch automatic transmission, offers a fun and comfortable driving experience.

Designed as a vision of Italian high-end range, it enhances everyday life with greater comfort, featuring five doors and seating for five passengers; increased functionality, with a spacious 385-litre boot and an additional 15 litres of storage inside the cabin; and greater well-being, thanks to ambient lighting with chromotherapy and a seat with built-in massage that redefines the meaning of travel comfort.

Meanwhile, the Abarth brand will present the 600e, the most powerful Abarth in history. The exclusive 600e Scorpionissima model will serve as a "support car" for the historic Fiat 600 during the event, symbolising a seamless evolution from Carlo Abarth's early racing machines to a new era of high-performance electric innovation.

More than just a high-performance car - with 280 HP, a 207 kW electric motor, and a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.85 seconds - the Abarth 600e indeed embodies a return to the brand's competitive DNA: a product of advanced technology transfer from Stellantis Motorsport and Abarth's engineering expertise.

The 43rd edition of the 1000 Miglia, the legendary regularity race for vintage cars, will take place from 17 to 21 June 2025, with over 400 vehicles traversing the classic Brescia-Rome-Brescia route. This year, the event adopts a "figure-eight" route, inspired by the first twelve editions of the original speed race, evoking the roots of an Italian motorsport legend.
