Just 200 examples of the Fiat 500 BlackJack special edition will be built, with sales starting today. As its name suggests, the BlackJack only comes in one colour - matt black, which Fiat claims reflects the 500's "irreverent and mysterious nature". The matt black paint is complemented by smoked metallic trim, black 16-inch alloy wheels with red detailing and red brake calipers on the 1.4-litre model.

Fiat will be hoping the BlackJack follows on from the success of the distinctive Pink and Diesel special editions that have gone before it. Like these, it will only be available to buy online via fiat.co.uk

Like all 500s, the BlackJack is fitted with stop and start technology to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in its native urban environment.

The entry 1.2-litre costs £12,165, with the 1.4 weighing in at £13,565.

This special edition comes hot on the heels of the recently introduced 500C Abarth, which adds wind-in-the-hair fun to the hottest Cinquecento.
