Fiat 500 by Gucci

As if the Fiat 500 weren't stylish enough already, now Gucci's had their way with it to create the special edition you see here. The brainchild of Lapo Elkann – the rakish playboy brother of Fiat chairman John Elkann and grandson of his late predecessor Gianni Agnelli – the Fiat 500 by Gucci is a joint effort between Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini and Fiat's Centro Stile.

Fiat scion Lapo Elkann has landed himself in the news once again. But this time it has nothing to do with denim-clad Ferraris or transvestite prostitutes. This time around, it's all about the game.

While attending the LA Lakers/Toronto Raptors game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Elkann reportedly interfered with the ball in play, giving the Lakers the precious points they needed to edge out their Canadian rivals. The incident is being compared with the infamous case of Steve Bartman who intercepted a ball during Game 6 of the 2003 National League playoff game between the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins. Follow the jump to watch the video recap from Yahoo! Sports.

Lapo Elkann's Custom Ferrari with Denim Interior

Dashing Fiat heir Lapo Elkann is something of a dandy and while we generally admire his taste and what the Italians call sprezzatura, we're not too crazy about his new custom two-tone blue Ferrari with an interior upholstered in pairs of old jeans (see still above and video after the jump). Last time we checked Lapo was cruising around in a much more understated matte black Maserati Gran Turismo. The Ferrari, a 599 GTB Fiorano, is matte baby blue with a darker blue roof and rims with Italian flag details. There's also something resembling a bullet hole in the back. This isn't exactly as atrocious as the Brothel Prince's Louis Vuitton Rolls, but it's definitely in the same orbit. We appreciate that you're too rich to give a damn, but sometimes Lapo old sport you go a bit too far.
