Fiat is set to launch a convertible version of the much-loved 500 at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March. The Fiat 500 C will go on sale shortly after being unveiled in Geneva just in time to drop the top for the summer season.

The 500 C will be a 4-seater, soft-top convertible which folds into the boot of the minicar. It will keep its door pillars and roof structure so don’t expect and roadster-style experience here.

Power will come from the same 1.2L making 70-hp and a 1.4L making 100-hp. No word of Abarth version as of yet.

Will it make it to the U.S.? Probably not anytime soon; however, Fiat is considering the 500 minicar for the stateside.
