Recently, a group of high school students in Madrid, Spain, took on the impressive task of “refreshing” a classic car that is over 50 years old, namely the Fiat 600 (manufactured from 1957 to 1973).

The group of students repainted the Fiat 600 and completely replaced its engine. Instead of keeping the original 1.1-liter 4-cylinder straight petrol engine, the young students replaced it with an electric motor. This allows the car to move for a longer period of time and be more environmentally friendly.

A solar energy panel was also installed on the car’s roof to harness thermal energy and provide power to the engine. This innovative idea allows the car to operate over a wider range and save a lot of fuel.

Furthermore, the car’s lights and interior equipment were impressively “customized” by the students. With creativity, perseverance, and over 150 working hours (nearly 7 days) invested, the young students transformed a discarded car into an extremely unique and one-of-a-kind vehicle.

The original Fiat 600 is 3.3m long and 1.4m tall. The luggage compartment has a capacity of 1.7 liters but can be expanded to 810 liters when the rear seats are folded down. Under the hood of the Fiat 600 is a 1.1-liter 4-cylinder straight inline petrol engine. With this engine, the car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 14.5 seconds before reaching a maximum speed of 150km/h.
The Fiat car line originates from Italy and is manufactured in Spain. At the time of its release, it had a price of around 390 euros (equivalent to 438 USD). The Fiat 600 is the most popular version of this car line. Additionally, there are also various other versions, including: 600, 600D, 600E, 600L, 800, 600 Van, and 600 Convertible.
