Italian design has found an unexpected meeting point between the road and the sea. FIAT and Sanlorenzo, one of Italy’s leading luxury yacht manufacturers, have joined forces to create a unique version of the Fiat Topolino, bringing together two different expressions of Italian craftsmanship, elegance and lifestyle.
The exclusive collaboration was unveiled during the opening night of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, aboard Sanlorenzo’s SX100 yacht, in an event celebrating the shared design philosophy of the two Italian brands.
The special-edition Topolino takes inspiration from the distinctive aesthetic of Sanlorenzo yachts, translating the materials, finishes and attention to detail traditionally found aboard luxury vessels into a compact electric vehicle designed for everyday mobility.
From luxury yacht decks to a compact electric vehicle
The one-of-a-kind Fiat Topolino features an exclusive interior inspired by Sanlorenzo’s signature style. Natural materials and premium textiles have been incorporated into the seats, dashboard and sunroof, while customized seat belts and genuine leather details add a distinctive touch.
One of its most striking features is the natural marine-grade wooden flooring, inspired by the beautiful teak decks found aboard Sanlorenzo yachts.

The result is a distinctive interpretation of the Topolino, blending nautical sophistication with the playful personality of FIAT’s smallest electric vehicle.
Rather than simply placing two brands together, the collaboration reflects a shared Italian approach to design: making everyday objects distinctive through craftsmanship, materials and attention to detail.
The Fiat Topolino enters a new chapter in the United States
The collaboration comes as FIAT introduces the 2027Topolino to the U.S. market, building on the positive response to the vehicle’s initial launch.
The new model adds two exterior colors, Corallo Orange and Luna Greige, a new full-color digital instrument panel and a new body style called Topolino Open Air, featuring a retractable fabric roof.
The 2027 Topolino also arrives with street-legal Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) homologation, expanding its appeal for neighborhood trips and everyday local transportation.
With an MSRP starting at $13,995, excluding destination charges, the Topolino represents FIAT’s first entry into the U.S. micromobility segment.
The company has also reported strong customer demand, with several dealerships having already sold out their initial vehicle allocations.
Italian lifestyle beyond the road
The FIAT-Sanlorenzo collaboration highlights how Italian design can move across different worlds, from luxury yachts cruising the coastline to compact electric vehicles navigating neighborhood streets.
Both brands share a philosophy built around distinctive design, personalization and the relationship between craftsmanship and lifestyle.
For FIAT, the Topolino represents a new vision of accessible mobility. For Sanlorenzo, the project offers another opportunity to showcase its design language beyond the world of luxury yachts.
Unveiled against the backdrop of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the special Topolino captures the essence of the Italian dolce vita: a combination of style, creativity and the pleasure of enjoying the journey, whether on land or at sea.
