A Superyacht Companion on Four Wheels

Garage Italia has teamed up with yacht design studio Hot Lab to create a new interpretation of the legendary Fiat 500 Jolly Spiaggina, bringing the character of vintage Mediterranean speedboats to one of Italy's most recognizable small cars.

The white-and-blue two-tone livery follows the visual language of a boat, echoing the line where a hull meets the water. The nautical theme continues across the canopy and seats, upholstered in Scia, a new indoor-outdoor fabric designed by Garage Italia and woven by Mariaflora. Its flowing wave pattern recalls the wake created by a speedboat moving across the water.

At the centre of the cabin sits the wooden Heritage Tunnel, a bespoke console that can be configured with either a magazine rack or a wine bottle holder. The wood detailing continues with a Nardi Marine steering wheel, while blue-and-white marine-grade flooring from Italdek recreates the appearance of traditional yacht decking. Side ropes finished with classic nautical knots complete the maritime-inspired interior.

The choice of the Fiat 500 Jolly also reflects its history. The original Spiaggina was created by Carrozzeria Ghia in the late 1950s for a distinctly Mediterranean lifestyle, providing yacht owners with an elegant way to travel between their boats, beaches, and seaside destinations. Garage Italia and Hot Lab reinterpret that idea through the contemporary language of luxury yachting and bespoke design.

The Fiat 500 Jolly Spiaggina Concept is now production-ready and available on request through Hot Lab. A small Italian icon, reimagined as a highly considered companion for the world of modern superyachts.
