Description
Kyosho Fiat Nuova 500 Green Clear 1:18 diecast model, part number KS08966LG, is a display replica of the compact city car. Its Green Clear finish gives this miniature its specified appearance, while the reduced-scale form retains the recognisable proportions of the Fiat Nuova 500. The model represents the road-car design rather than a racing derivative or a mechanically functioning vehicle.
The full-size Fiat Nuova 500 originated in 1957, with its design and development associated with Dante Giacosa. It was conceived as a compact rear-engined city car, and that layout influenced the relationship between its cabin, body and external proportions. On the miniature, the front profile, side silhouette and rear treatment work together to identify the original vehicle. Wheels, openings and glazing further reflect the named specification.
About The Subject
More than three million classic 500s were built across multiple series, although that figure relates to the full-size car and does not state how many Kyosho replicas were produced. The Green Clear colour identifies this particular miniature but does not by itself indicate a separate factory edition or a competition car. Abarth-developed derivatives achieved records in competition, while the standard Nuova 500 represented here should be considered separately from those versions.
This Kyosho model presents the Fiat Nuova 500 at a scale suited to collection and display. It brings together the car’s period styling, compact city-car proportions and the visual details of the Green Clear version in a miniature format.

Fiat Nuova 500 Green Clear The Kyosho model and its origins This Kyosho diecast model is a faithful 1:18-scale replica of the Fiat Nuova 500 Green Clear. It captures the distinctive silhouette of the Fiat Nuova 500. The Green Clear finish gives this particular replica its visual identity. The catalogue reference for this miniature is KS08966LG. The history of the full-size vehicle or depicted subject is rooted in 1957. Its design and development are associated with Dante Giacosa. The original form reflects the technical and cultural priorities of its period. The shape was created for a real driving purpose rather than for the miniature itself. Design and production The most recognisable proportions remain visible at reduced scale. Its front profile establishes the vehicle’s immediate identity. The side silhouette reveals the relationship between cabin and body. The rear treatment completes that recognisable design language. For production context, More than three million classic 500s were built across multiple series; colour-specific totals are not stated. That historical figure, where available, concerns the full-size car rather than Kyosho miniatures. A colour or race livery should not automatically be treated as a separately numbered factory edition. The supplied product line does not state how many Kyosho replicas were manufactured. Production and engineering Variant totals can differ from the production figure for the broader model family. This distinction matters when a collector compares closely related versions. The original concept is characterised by a compact rear-engined city car. Its mechanical layout influenced the body’s overall proportions. The engineering choices reflect the purpose of the full-size vehicle. Changes between road and racing specifications should be understood separately. The miniature preserves the principal external cues of its named version. Wheels, openings and glazing help identify the chosen specification. Engineering and competition The selected paintwork makes this release visually distinct from other references. A miniature is a representation and does not share the mechanical functions of the original. In competition terms, Abarth-developed derivatives set records; the standard Nuova 500 has no equivalent factory racing title. The designation does not itself establish a race entry for this specific road-car finish. A racing success is attributed to the relevant team, driver and full-size car. Related competition derivatives may differ significantly from production examples. The colour alone does not establish that a specific car took part in a race. Where the subject comes from fiction or cinema, its on-screen exploits are not official results. Legacy This separation preserves the historical meaning of the original model. The Fiat Nuova 500 remains a distinct chapter in its manufacturer’s design history. Its form links the period’s styling to the engineering underneath. The chosen specification gives the collector a more precise version to display. Kyosho presents the subject at 1:18 scale. The replica offers a compact way to appreciate the original design. This Fiat Nuova 500 Green Clear miniature highlights the car’s individual appearance. It brings together automotive history and the pleasure of a carefully chosen display model.
