LIDO — Custom Electric Fiat 500 Jolly
Italian craftsmanship · Electric drive · Dubai & UAE
An Italian electric beach car, tailored to your Dubai or UAE project
LIDO brings the character of a classic Fiat 500 to a personal electric beach-car project. Created by Officine Gentile in Turin, Italy, it combines an open body, handcrafted finishes and colors selected with you.
Inspired by the Italian Jolly beach-car tradition, LIDO is our own interpretation of the spiaggina: a small, open car whose personality comes from its proportions, materials and details. Electric drive is integrated into a complete build with a distinct LIDO identity.
For a private home in Dubai, a waterfront property in Abu Dhabi or a hospitality project elsewhere in the Emirates, we begin with your idea. Our team in Italy works directly with you to define the car, intended setting and delivery arrangements.

A distinctive car for a personal or hospitality project
LIDO can be the starting point for a personal collection, a villa project or a distinctive addition to a hotel’s visual identity. Its open silhouette puts the seating, paintwork and finishing details on display, making a coordinated configuration central to the result.
The right proposal starts with how and where you plan to use the car. We discuss your property, preferred presentation and equipment before selecting finishes, so that the build reflects your project rather than a standard package.
Villas and private collections
Choose a color palette and interior that reflect your taste, complement your property or give the car its own place in your collection.
Hotels and resorts
Develop a car concept around your establishment’s identity. We discuss the intended setting and operation before proposing materials and equipment.
Waterfront and yachting projects
Explore woven textures, coordinated finishes and nautical details for a car that shares the aesthetic of your waterfront residence or yacht.
A coordinated design, from paint to seating
Create your own combination of colors and materials
A pale body color with warm woven seating, a stronger paint tone with contrasting trim, or details coordinated with your property: we explore the direction with you. Each choice is considered as part of the whole car.
- Bodywork: explore paint colors and coordinated combinations.
- Interior: discuss seat materials, colors and finishing details.
- Character: choose decorative touches that give your car its identity.
- Equipment: review the options available for your chosen configuration.
Tell us about your expected use, parking and storage arrangements as well as your design preferences. The agreed materials, equipment, technical specifications, price and production schedule are then set out in your proposal.

The workshop behind LIDO
Created by Officine Gentile in Turin
LIDO is a brand of Officine Gentile. Our workshop brings together classic-car restoration, bodywork and electric-conversion expertise, allowing us to develop the car as a complete project.
Starting with a classic Fiat 500, we create an electric Spiaggina with its own LIDO identity. Craftsmanship and engineering are considered together, from the exterior presentation to the interior and drivetrain integration.
