New Fiat 500CByGucci arrives in London as part of European Tour
Published Date: 17 October 2011
The stunning new Fiat 500CbyGucci, which has created a wave of
remarkable interest across the world, will be the star of the
original tour stopping at some of the most famous cities in the
Europe, including London this weekend.
A striking 5 metre square crystal cube with elegant black
lacquered top and bottom will be set up in the Covent Garden
Piazza, from 16-19 October, housing the Fiat 500CbyGucci.
The convertible version of the Fiat 500byGucci - once again
customised by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini in
collaboration with Fiat's Centro Stile style centre - is available
in two colours: classic black and white, with a distinctive glitter
finish. These two exceptional colours complement each other - the
black with detailing in shiny chrome is paired with a contrasting
interior for a contemporary and racy finish. The white satin chrome
detailing offers a soft more sophisticated look.
The Fiat 500CbyGucci is embellished by 16" alloy wheels
characterised by the unmistakable retro design of the spokes, in
perfect harmony with the exterior colours, a first for cars in this
category. The hub caps have a double "G" logo in matching body
colour and the Gucci signature in italics is displayed on the
tailgate and door pillar.
The interior also brims with style, classic stitching, exclusive
materials, satin and polished chrome-plated elements, a
velvet-effect finish on the radio panel and two-tone Frau leather
seats with Guccissima print. The Gucci web theme also appears on
the seats, gearbox, key cover, mats and with an innovative finish
on the seat belts.
As well as the car there will be a display of a selection of
pieces from the Fiat 500byGucci collection, including travel
accessories, small leather goods, driving gloves, eyewear and a
watch.
The London leg of the exhibition is part of a travelling tour
showcasing the new Fiat 500CbyGucci which includes stops in Saint
Tropez, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan, Rome and Geneva.
The Fiat 500byGucci range starts at £14,800.
