Those that watched the Super Bowl might recall Fiat’s commercial (shown below) that aired during the broadcast. It featured Romanian model Catrinel Menghia along with the new Fiat Abarth from the car company’s 500 line. Anyway, Fiat will be officially unveiling the new 500L (which will be accompanying the Abarth and Cabrio from the same line) at the Geneva Motor Show in March of this year.

Abarth will be showcasing two new versions of the Fiat 500 at the upcoming 2011 Bologna Auto Show. The 595 Competizione and Turismo are the most exciting releases to come from the house tuner of Fiat.

“Abarth is launching the 595, a derivative of the Cinquecento, in two flavors: Turismo and Competizione.

The Abarth 595 Turismo is the milder of the two, finished in two-tone metallic Rosso Officina and Grigio Pista livery and fitted with titanium-colored 17-inch alloy wheels. The cabin comes equipped with red leather sport seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and aluminum-colored fiberglass trim.

The Abarth 595 Competizione is finished in metallic Grigio Record, with titanium-colored 17-inch alloy wheels and yellow Brembo brake calipers. The seats are rendered in leather and Alcantara, with the 595 logo embroidered on the integrated headrest.

Both versions are powered by a specially tuned Fiat 1.4 Turbo T-Jet engine that makes 158 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. The 595 Turismo gets an automated manual Competizione transmission with paddles on the steering wheel, while the 595 Competizione uses a standard five-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is just over 130 mph, with 0-60 acceleration in less than 7.4 seconds. Combined average fuel economy is 36 mpg.”

After having worked with Diesel before, Fiat gets together with Italian luxury brand Gucci on a limited edition version of its iconic Fiat 500 car. To complement the two colorways of the car, Gucci also created a limited edition capsule collection, consisting of clothing, bags, caps, sunglasses, a watch and more. The collection runs under the name “500 by Gucci”.

“The black and white colours of the 500 by Gucci, in unique eye-catching glossy pearl glass paint, set the stage for a neo-classic black and white film. These two distinct colors complement one another: black, with detailing in shiny chrome paired with interiors that contrast sharp black and white, for a contemporary and racy attitude. White, with satin chrome detailing and ivory and black interiors for a softer, sophisticated look.

The exterior is further personalized by rims for 195/45 R16 wheels, including the unmistakable retro design of the rays, harmonizing with the surrounding exterior colors and representing a novelty for this category of car. The hubcaps feature the interlocking GG in the same color of the body of the car and the cursive Gucci signature appears on the hatchback as well on the doorpost. The version equipped with 1.4 of 100 horsepower comes with rear break callipers in Gucci green. The car’s silhouette is outlined by Gucci’s signature green-red-green stripe, which runs along the entire perimeter and links the exterior to the interior. The stripe also appears inside on the seats, on the gear shift, the key-cover, the carpets, and in an innovative finish on the seatbelts. The interior space of the 500 by Gucci is stylish yet functional down to every last detail: chic embroidery, exclusive materials, glossy and satin chromes, the velvety varnish on the “radioboard,” the two-toned seats in Frau leather with the Guccissima print.”

The 500 by Gucci will initially be available from April 1st to June 30th exclusively by pre-order online at www.500bygucci.com, with a list price in Italy that starts from 17,000 euro all inclusive. The car will also be displayed in exclusive locations in metropolitan cities such as Paris, London and Tokyo, followed by the European commercial launch in July. It will then become available in the rest of the world at the end of the year.

Detailed images of the car and the 500 by Gucci Collection follow after the jump.

After last year’s increased demand for the Fiat x Diesel 500, the two Italian companies get together once again and present for 2010 a collaboration on the Fiat 500C – the convertible version of the little racer. The car comes with the same details as the first one, including Diesel branding on the wheels, side-panels and interior. This one also seems to come not only in the original anthracite colorway, but also in a beautiful blue/beige version.

We do not report very often about Diesel and also not much about cars, but we really like the outcome of the Fiat 500 that they worked on. Fiat worked with denim maker Diesel on the design of this special edition car. It will be produced for two years and overall they will be making a maximum of 10′000 cars, which means that if you want one, chances are you will be able to get one.

Besides the great choice of color, we mostly enjoy the comeback of the classic Diesel logo, which appears on the wheels and on the shift stick inside the car. The car can be ordered in Europe as of today.

Via Autoblog.
