Haute Auto: Gucci Fiat 500
by Alison Agudo

Fiat has just announced its plans to team up with Italian fashion powerhouse Gucci to design a Gucci Fiat 500.

To truly ride in style, there seems no better solution than to incorporate one of the world’s most desirable fashion designers into your vehicle. Fiat and Gucci are joining forces to create a pint-sized convertible that will feature Gucci’s signature green-and-red stripe along the side of the car. The vehicle will also be trimmed out in leather and essentially dripping in Italian style.

The collaboration is expected to be unveiled during New York Fashion Week taking place in September.

The limited edition car is intended to make a statement, not be a mass-market seller so don’t expect to see too many of these beauties zipping by you on the highway.
