Fiat Launches Special Edition 500 Pink

Looking for the perfect chariot for your next shopping excursion down to Chelsea? Look no further than the Fiat 500 Pink. Launched by Fiat UK, the 500 Pink is exactly that: pink. And though there's not much else to distinguish this special edition Cinquocente from any other, it comes with about £1,500 worth of optional extras – from the sunroof to the enviro-chic start-stop engine management – for only a £1,000 premium, which leaves an extra £500 left over for a matching pair of pumps. Barbie doll not included.

Good things come in small packages. Like the Fiat 500 Abarth. Sure, it's just a little hatchback, but the car that's taking European markets by storm can be ordered as a venerable fire-breathing little monster courtesy of the Italian automaker's performance division. Abarth has churned out no shortage of special editions, but here's one actually undertaken by one of its importers.

The SpeedGrey edition starts with the 160-horsepower 500 Abarth SS and upgrades it with a special Monza exhaust good for another five horses, plus tinted windows, satellite navigation, Sabelt racing seats and a special gray paint scheme usually available only on Maseratis. Unfortunately Neubauer will only be making ten examples, all dedicated to the French market for where the company serves as official distributor.

While some automakers are celebrating their centenaries, Fiat's performance division is marking a much smaller anniversary: one year since the sport marque returned to the Dutch market. And to celebrate, they're launching an exclusive special edition of their hot-selling premium retro hatchback. Called the Fiat 500 Abarth Competizione, only ten examples will be made with a $35,000 price tag. For the premium price, a handful of buyers in the Netherlands will get special wheels and trim and all the extra equipment – including satellite navigation, climate control, special racing bucket seats and more – plus of course that indefinable quality we know as exclusivity.

Elle MacPherson's Fiat 500C - Click above for high-res image gallery

Sexy cars and sexy ladies always seem to be bundled together, no? Such is the case with the new Fiat 500 convertible, the first of which was recently delivered to supermodel Elle Macpherson at her home in Notting Hill. MacPherson reportedly owns a hardtop 500 and has been quoted in the past saying how much she loves it.

The 500C's electrically-operated soft top, which comes in ivory, red or black hues, features a full glass rear window and slides down the center of the car to the rear, leaving the door pillars intact. Fiat says this allows the car to serve as daily transportation regardless of the weather.

The car's European launch was just held at the Whisky Mist in London and, in addition to Elle MacPherson, was attended by Edoardo Agnelli, the nephew of Fiat's co-founder, will.I.am from the Black Eyed Peas and Amelle Berrabah from Sugababes. There's plenty more in the press release after the break.

One-of-a-Kind Fiat 500C by Diesel to be Auctioned at Cannes AIDS Fundraiser

Special-edition premium retro hatchbacks seem to be all the rage at AIDS fundraisers these days. Every year Mini teams up with a different designer for a one-off vehicle donated to the LifeBall event. Diesel lent a hand one year, but this year the Italian jeanswear house has teamed up with Fiat and the Cinema Against AIDS Gala to produce the one-of-a-kind 500C you see here. Like the fixed-roof Diesel edition Fiat 500, this special example features a unique metallic green paintjob, a denim-upholstered interior and plenty of Diesel logos, but upgrades with a cloth folding roof and a 100-horsepower engine in the place of the 75hp unit on the regularly available fixed-roof version. Just one example of the special-edition Fiat 500C by Diesel will be made, joining big names like Sharon Stone, Harvey Weinstein, Annie Lennox and former U.S. President Bill Clinton in helping the American Foundation for AIDS Research break last year's record $7 million raised at the gala held in conjunction with the Cannes Film Festival later this month.
