fiat for sure, but which car?

I was on my way to a meeting, on the dwarka link road saw this car, it had a fiat logo, got down to click a few photos, but the fellow driving the car took - off. I have not come across this model of fiat being available in India for sale, it was smaller than Chevrolet spark. Can people please shed some light on this small car?

The car is a Fiat 500. It was launched in India and sold for some time. But unfortunately meet with limited success.

This one though seems to be a personal import, as I doubt this colour and spec(wheels especially) was offered in India.

This maybe the new 500 Twin Air, the one with the innovative twin cylinder petrol motor.

Its a Fiat 500 Lounge with the following stuff added:
- OEM Italian Striping
- OEM Side Moulding
- OEM Italian Flag style Fiat 500 badges
- OEM Chrome OVRM's
- OEM Spoiler
- Fiat 500 Italian style keyfob covers
- OEM Gucci gearknob
- OEM Italian Stripe Footmats

Shall share pictures of the interiors soon. Compare these pics with a normal Fiat 500 and you shall realize the difference between both cars. Since the mods are all OEM accessories, they blend in well to make it look like a stock car.

There is a white Fiat 500 petrol for sale. 2008 Model 45K Kms run. Owner is asking for best offer. How much should I offer?

Spotted this beauty from FIAT last week at India Gate during early hours. The old gentleman driving the car has surely kept it in very good condition.

Please excuse the picture quality

I must be missing something here. It only came with a multijet diesel, right? From where did this petrol come then?

The car also had a 1.4L Turbo Petrol and was called FIAT Abarth 595 Competizione.

The car shown in the picture does not look anything like the 1.4 petrol Competizione. I always thought it was the diesel only which was sold in India for a brief while.

The car in the picture that I've posted is a Diesel.
What I meant was that there was also a Petrol available.
