On Instagram, the user @senna.gianluca has recently created a buzz with a creation that is, to say the least, unexpected. Fiat Topolino transformed into a Ferrari, inside and out. The result? Over 17,000 likes and thousands of shares.
A €10,000 Ferrari?
The Fiat Topolino is an electric micro-city car developed by Stellantis. Far from the performance of a 296 GTB or SF90, it aims for urban mobility, silence... and economy. Yet, in the hands of @senna.gianluca, this humble little car received an unexpected "Cavallino Rampante" treatment:
- Ferrari red paint
- Ferrari logos at the front, on the rims, and even on the interior
- Luxury caramel-coloured leather upholstery with stitching and Ferrari coat of arms
- Steering wheel reworked in the same spirit
- Red interior details reminiscent of Maranello
The contrast between the vehicle's modest shape and its supercar-like exterior is as amusing as it is intriguing.
The initiative is neither serious nor pretentious. It's all about irony: what if Ferrari launched a micro-car? At a time when carmakers are redefining their ranges to meet urban and ecological constraints, this "Topolino Ferrari" sounds like a successful parody of extreme downsizing.
A well-placed nod to Italian culture
The choice of the Fiat Topolino is not an insignificant one. It embodies the popular Italian car par excellence, while Ferrari symbolizes the elite and exclusivity. By merging them visually, the creator of this project delivers an amused tribute to two icons of the Italian automobile, each in their own register.

Is this an April Fool's joke?
Ferrari cannot agree with a Ferrari cart. The customer will be blacklisted.
It makes you smile, but you shouldn't be afraid of the ridiculous.
There was also an Abarth 595 Tributo Ferrari, but with Ferrari's consent. This model has become a collector's item.
Um...how can I put this? It's a Citroën Ami painted in Ferrari colors, not a topolino. Maybe it's better to ask around when you don't know anything about it? It really doesn't look serious. Sorry about that. It would be nice to correct the article just to... Have a nice day.
