Fiat has brought back the Topolino nameplate, an Italian word that translates to "baby mouse," and has applied it to an all-electric quadricycle based on the Citroen Ami––and it's absolutely adorable. Fiat has been shy to provide too many images of its tiny quadricycle, but from what we can see, it draws considerable inspiration from Fiat's original 500 city car.
Unfortunately, the Topolino is only destined for Europe––it would look sorely out of place on wide American roads, after all––and will join not only the Citroen Ami, but also its Opel Rocks-e cousin, as the third electric quadricycle from Stellantis.
The Topolino's front end features the iconic face of the original Fiat 500, with two circular headlights for each side. Glancing at the quadricycle's stubby profile, we'll answer your burning question about the doors––there aren't any. Instead, the Topolino features a simple rope that can be unhooked on one side to access the two-seater's cabin. The vehicle featured here is finished in a friendly shade of minty green, paired with small white wheels and silver detailing on the side mirrors, bumpers, and lights. Part of the dashboard is visible through the steep windshield, where we can see a colorful striped fabric material. If its Citroen and Opel relatives are any indication, the Topolino's dash should be simple and free of screens.
There's no powertrain info from Fiat, but the Citroen Ami is powered by a miniscule 5.5 kWh battery paired with a single motor, for a quite laughable top speed of 30 mph. Now you can see why the Topolino wouldn't survive on American roads.
Are you now looking for a reason to move to Europe to own a Topolino?
