Icon 1966 600 Giardinetta Derelict Fiat EV
]
Electric conversions are increasingly gaining traction in the classic car
world, and the trend shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Especially in
the case of popular but really slow classics like the original Beetle or, in
this case, the Fiat 500 in its cute Giardiniera wagon bodystyle.
The electric powertrain conversion was a collaboration between Icon and
Stealth EV, giving the little Fiat around 100hp to play with, which is
almost three times the power it originally had. The increased performance is
then combined with 120 miles (190 km) of driving range, which is more than
enough for city driving.
Icon also replaced all the weatherstripping and glass seals, added
insulation and generally eliminated all the rattles and squeaks you’ve come
to expect from a tiny Italian car of this era. Combined with the simple but
stylish and surprisingly roomy interior, Icon’s 500 Giardiniera is arguably
one of the coolest cars they ever made.
It’s a win-win combo, as the classic design married to a zero-emissions
powertrain creates a car that’s much, much better than it was before. Let
Jonathan Ward take you for a tour around his latest creation on the video
that follows.
