Fiat and Vilebrequin just gave the Topolino something it never had: a closed body with a fold‑back soft top. Only 200 units, and they're not for everyone.

Nobody saw this coming. Vilebrequin and the Topolino are teaming up again for a new Collector's Edition — but this time it's not just another paint job. The model gets something no Topolino has ever had: a closed body with an opening fabric roof. Just 200 units will be built, and only Italy and France will get them. The resort‑ready electric microcar has finally stopped fearing the rain, without giving up its open‑top charm.

Fiat made it official on June 30. The cars get two‑tone paint, the signature Vilebrequin turtle on the driver's door, a chrome rear rack, white seats with blue stitching, and sea‑themed floor mats. A decorative Dolcevita Box rounds things off.

The first joint edition from 2025 felt more like a beach accessory than a car. A rear basket, a built‑in shower, yacht‑style teak trim, hand‑finishing on every single unit — the focus was on gear for a day at the sea. This time it's different: the body itself is the star.

Fiat hasn't announced any changes to the electric drivetrain — and probably won't. The standard Topolino stays a light quadricycle: up to 45 km/h and 75 km of range on a charge. The Vilebrequin Collector's Edition isn't faster or longer‑legged. All the attention goes to passenger protection and new ways to use the car.

The lineup isn't expanding for no reason: in 2025, the Topolino grabbed 20% of the European quadricycle market. The next test for the strategy is coming — the price list. Fiat is still keeping quiet on retail pricing, delivery timing, and whether the new body will ever escape this limited run.
