Fiat’s stylish new 500byGucci model, which was launched at an exclusive party in London on Monday (27 June), will make a special appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.
The special edition of the iconic Fiat 500, which has been customised by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini in partnership with Fiat’s Centro Stile, will make its first public appearance at the world famous classic car festival in a themed display within the stunning country grounds of the Goodwood estate, near Chichester.

The space will be transformed into a 500byGucci luxury retreat featuring immaculate rolling lawns, bridged by manicured gravel paths and framing a spectacular water feature.

David Sheath (28) a former semi-professional footballer, is hoping to create history by becoming the first person to paint an entire car using nail varnish and earn himself a place in the Guinness Book Of World Records with the longest online advert ever.
The record attempt, which is to be streamed live on the internet, could take him a week to complete. David, who lives in London but is from Wales, will use over 200 pots of pink nail polish and a predicted 240,000 strokes in order to transform a white Fiat 500 to a Fiat 500 Pink.
David is currently single and will live in a South London studio, until the car is completed. He will communicate with the outside world using Twitter.
David says: “I wanted a challenge since I recently split up with my girlfriend and do something no one has ever done before. If you want to give me a helping hand and earn you place in the history books just register on the website for the chance to come and join me!”

Hundreds of people visited the British Airways London Eye between 24 January and 3 February to configure their own unique Fiat 500 in our special design competition. Top prize was the chance to win the designed car, and five runner-up prizes of a Champagne trip in one of the Eye’s flight capsules were also up for grabs.
Judging the competition proved a difficult task, but the winners have now been announced by London’s Design Museum.
Donna Loveday – head of exhibitions at the Design Museum – selected the winning artists’ stunning designs, which are shown below along with her expert opinion on each of the entries.
Congratulations to the six winners!
And don’t forget you too can design your dream Fiat 500 simply by visiting our unique online configurator.
The Fiat 500 winning design
Cars in a silver finish are currently very popular, but Duncan’s combination of the colour azure with the addition of a chequered flag on the roof turns this into a smart and sporty city car. A range of options are offered with consideration given to interior and exterior detail.
The Champagne Capsule winners
A near winner – green with the Italian flag stripe and black sun roof makes clear reference to Fiat’s Italian design heritage.
The colour yellow combined with a black chequered flag on the roof turns this into a bright and very funky car, for those drivers who want to opt for something a little unconventional.
A clever combination of blue with the Italian flag stripe creates a very attractive car.
The colour blue with the addition of a white stripe and the number 5 immediately gives the car strong sporting associations.
The subtle combination of black with a front stripe creates a very smart city car. A range of options are given, including automatic climate control.
