Which Fiat model is Luigi in Pixar’s Cars?

Luigi is a Fiat 500 in Pixar’s Cars.

Luigi owns Luigi’s Casa Della Tires in Radiator Springs and is one of the town’s most enthusiastic residents. His small Italian design, expressive personality, and love of Ferrari racing make him one of the franchise’s most recognizable supporting characters.

The Fiat 500 is a compact Italian car first introduced in 1957 as the Nuova 500. Luigi’s appearance reflects that classic model, while his shop’s large tire display and Italian-themed décor reinforce the character’s identity.

Luigi is voiced by Tony Shalhoub. His friend Guido, who works at the tire shop, is a small blue forklift and communicates mostly through gestures and short sounds. Luigi and Guido both admire Ferrari, but Luigi himself is the Fiat 500.
