With Fiat's business model effectively previewed by rival Mini's moves toward success throughout the years, it's certainly no surprise to see the Italianate 500 start to cough up some limited edition models. The 500C (http://www.autoblog.com/fiat/500c/) has already, and famously teamed with Gucci (via a small J.Lo kerfuffle (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/22/did-j-lo-phone-in-her-fiat-500-my-world-ad-with-a-body-double/)) and now Fiat (http://www.autoblog.com/fiat/) has brought a 500 GQ Edition to Geneva, presumably for gentlemen drivers with style.
The co-branding with Gentleman's Quarterly includes orange GQ badges that match 500 logos of the same color. The show car seen here is presented in a matte grey and carbon black paint scheme that will not be offered for the public when the car goes on sale in Europe (500 Bait and Switch Edition is more like it). Instead, European customers will get a two-tone metallic grey/black 500S, with chromed mirror caps, unique 16-inch wheels, orange brake calipers. Inside we're told the car will offer unique leather seats and a leather-covered gear knob.
