Fiat 500e Stormtrooper concept inspired by the dark side at Detroit auto show

DETROIT, MI-- A Fiat concept car inspired by the dark side, the Fiat 500e Stormtrooper, is on display at the 2016 North American International Auto Show.

The Star Wars-themed vehicle premiered at the LA Auto Show in Nov. 2015 as a part of FCA US LLC's support of the newest Star Wars film, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

"The exterior livery of the Fiat 500e Stormtrooper is inspired by the armor of the First Order Legion, with a two-tone black and white custom painting of the car body," reads the description of the vehicle designed by Garage Italia Customs.

Even the interior of the vehicle is Star Wars-themed.

"Inside, everything is in black and white, too, with total custom front and rear seats upholstered in leather and Alcantara(r). The dashboard is painted in white and it is enriched by the "Star Wars" logo on it. All the details are painted in white/black lacquer, and a First Order insignia can be found on the two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel."

The custom car's description adds, "Much like the stormtrooper armor itself, the Fiat 500e brings together modern technology and functionality, but with an added classic Italian design, making it the perfect vehicle to take on the galaxy in style."

The 2016 North American International Auto Show is now in its 28th year. The show runs Jan. 11-24 in Detroit. Press preview days are Jan. 11-12, followed by industry preview Jan. 13-14 and a charity preview Jan. 15.
