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.
