LIDO — Custom Electric Fiat 500 Jolly
Made in Italy · Electric drive · Made for you
A custom electric Fiat 500 Jolly beach car, with your signature
Meet LIDO: a classic Fiat 500 reimagined as an open electric beach car by Officine Gentile in Turin, Italy. Italian character, handcrafted details and a configuration shaped around your taste.
Inspired by the spirit of the Italian Jolly beach cars, LIDO brings its own identity to the spiaggina tradition. The familiar Fiat 500 silhouette, an open cabin and carefully coordinated finishes come together with an electric drivetrain.

Your American summer, with an Italian touch
A beach car with a personality of its own
For a coastal home, a personal collection or a hospitality project, LIDO offers a distinctive starting point. Its compact proportions and open body make the materials, colors and craftsmanship part of the experience.
Whether your project is in California, Florida or elsewhere in the United States, we begin with the same questions: what do you want your car to look like, and how do you intend to use it? Those answers guide the proposal.
Private owners
A personal expression of Italian style for your home or collection, with colors and finishes selected around your preferences.
Hotels and resorts
A distinctive vehicle concept for your property. We discuss the intended setting, use and visual identity before defining the configuration.
Coastal living
Materials and details inspired by the nautical world, with combinations that can complement your waterfront home or yacht aesthetic.
Make it yours
Choose the colors, materials and finishing touches
A LIDO project is about the whole car. The paint, seating, dashboard and smaller details should work together, rather than feel like a collection of unrelated options.
- 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.
Your proposal sets out the agreed configuration, technical specifications, equipment, price and production schedule before the project begins.
Craftsmanship up close

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.
