Aznom is one of many firms that has chosen the new Fiat 500 as an object to reinterpret, the Italian company creating a distinct reworked model that features new bright two-tone colours and vivid, luxurious materials.

The 500 by Aznom will be offered in three versions, Amabile (leather seats and external details following the customer's individual tastes), Intrigante (leather seats and inner details such as the transmission gear handle and brake pedal, bicoloured bodywork); and  Seducente (full leather interior, bicoloured car bodywork or special varnish finish, detailed dashboard, personalised car mats and back compartment). Aznom quote a time up to one and a half months to undertake the work.

Aznom press release

The idea of elaborating the 500 comes from the will to refine and customise a real icon of our age, sign of the Italian renaissance, and comes also from the wish to change and personalise something that in fact at the beginning was born especially for common people.

We set an important partnership with Mr Giovanni Novello, of Gruppo Nowa, which family has been engaged for a long time, since the ’50, in the arrangement, realisation and care of many specially built cars. This so experienced group is well known also for its services of cars restoration and hand-made customisations.

The Fiat 500 Topolino which had its body rebuilt by Mr Walter Novello, father of Giovanni, in 1949. Originally it was a “giardinetta” made of wood; after the transformation the long-wheel base was extended, the engine was empowered and the car’s body completely renewed with inner features and colours totally personalised.

Our first car production, based on the 500, was born with the main aim to experience new materials, new colours and to risk new chromatic combinations in order to promote and encourage our customer’s imagination and creativity. The dashboard has been perfectly personalised, covered by unconventional and eccentric wood applications that give the car an extremely original touch, for people who don’t want to follow the usual aesthetic rules.

The car’s body of 500 by Aznom is bicloured: the roof and the side-view/wing mirrors have been varnished with an ochre pearly changeable tone, perfectly in contrast/combination with the black-tinted underside.

Inner details have been fully covered by bicoloured leather. Seats and backs have been finished with English styled leather pipes of the ’60s. Brown and ochre yellow perfectly alternate in an elegant and flexible way giving the passenger compartment a really exclusive style. The frame is Alcantara covering the top and upper cuts, including sunshade in brown leather and Alcantara. Reflect yourself in luxury.

The usual 16 inch alloy wheels have been replaced with 17 inch ones in extra light alloy, Mak Passenger XLR, shod with specific Yokohama “Parada” tyres, thanks to the partnership with both RS & TA Yokohama and Mak.

Specials on this version: same elegance for the key, in wood as the dashboard, leather bag and tool-kit in the same fashion colours of car’s inner details. Limited optionals: a special hidden button allowing the partial unlocking and opening of the passenger’s door. An accessory, initially seen on the Fiat 130 coupé, that made it easier for women to get into the car. Aznom has revived this feature calling it “the gentleman's button”, a vintage and unique accessory. Gallantry is back. For the lucky owners of this car there will be the opportunity, at the special price of 400 euros, to attend the driving training course, dubbed trackznom.
