The new 500 "La Prima by Bocelli" is the first city car in the world to feature JBL "Virtual Venues" technology, which provides an unsurpassed audio experience. As standard, the new version of this cult and most exclusive Fiat car exclusively features Bochelli's JBL Premium sound system: an extremely sophisticated 320W premium audio system in both design and performance that is simple and intuitive to use. It is perfectly integrated into the car without any impact on the interior or space of the trunk. To make the JBL audiO system perfectly tailored to the vehicle, Fiat took advantage of the experience of maestro Andrea Bocelli, the world’s most popular live tenor, and selected Matee Bocelli’s upcoming new single for the music track of the communication campaign.
"Due to the extraordinary success of the New 500 la Prima version, the strongest version of our electric icon, we realized that our customers want a product that is definitely premium, Italian and cult. In short, they want the best of what is made in Italy, "said Olivier Francois, CEO of the Fiat brand and marketing director of the Stellantis Group. "It is in Italy that I can find the best expression of art, beauty and music.
For this reason, together with maestro Andrea Bocelli, we have created a superior sound experience to enhance the silence of the electric car. Thanks to the excellent JBL Virtual Venues technology, we provide our customers with an immersive and customized sound experience. "This revolutionary premium audio system completes the authentic Italian icon, proudly made in Italy to give the world the most authentic Italian spirit possible."
