The world's sexiest car?



Sexy, but practical ... Fiat 500

July 26, 2006
It may be slow and stumpy, but the Fiat 500 has a "wholesomeness" that makes it the sexiest car in the world.

That's according to a survey of the world's sexiest cars by British motoring magazine Top Gear.

The Fiat 500 driver is the sort of person who "doesn't have to try", Top Gear editor James May said.

"Our No. 1 sexiest car, the Fiat 500, advertises nothing about its owner, except that it's someone who doesn't need to try. So you look, and you know. You would, wouldn't you?"

The Fiat 500 beat the Aston Martin DBS and Maserati Quattroporte into first place.

"Everyone, from strapping blokes to fainting flowers of womanhood, looks sexually charged behind its wheel," the magazine said.

"It works irrespective of age, beauty, wealth and position; even a nun in a 500 seems to telegraph a faint tingle of the procreative urge."

In Sydney in the '70s the car was known as the Fiat Bambino. It was known in Europe as Cinquecento (500 in Italian).
