Fiat 500 America TwitBid

Fiat unveiled an exclusive limited edition run of 500 cars inspired by U.S. style at the Geneva Motor Show. Then through a Twitter based auction they made it possible to win the “number one” car (distinguished by a badge on the external pillar bearing the serial number 1/500 and the winner’s Twitter nickname) starting from a bid of €1.

To win the Fiat, participants were directed to follow @fiatontheweb on Twitter and then place a bid at www.500America.fiat500.com using their Twitter account. As a result Fiat received 700 bids from 293 users, across 11 countries. A twitter follower with a bid of €15,165 was declared the winner of the limited edition Fiat 500 America.

Fiat Street Evo

Leo Burnett Iberia has launched a new app called Fiat Street Evo [iTunes Link], which is also the world’s first not-printed car catalogue! Its a catalogue that’s virtually on every street in your city!

Fiat Street Evo recognizes traffic signs as if they were QR codes and associates each sign with a feature of the new Fiat Punto Evo. For example; a STOP sign will tell the user all about the new breaking system, a CURVE ahead sign will tell the user that the car has an intelligent lighting system that guides you in curves. And the list goes on with every feature of the car.
