Specs: Rear engine, Honda B16B Type R engine, 185 HP, 1.6 Liter; 9000 rpm rev-limit.
Launched as the Nuova (new) 500 in July 1957, it was a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only 2.97 metres (9 feet 9 inches) long, and originally powered by an appropriately sized 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term "small car" and is considered one of the first city cars.

The Concorso has raised more than S1 million for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. There is a Parade of Kids. The kids are picked up at the Children's Center and ride to West Hartford Center in the show cars and then return in them. They each recieve a stuffed teddy bear and become honorary Italian Citizens.
