Get your Italian car fashion fix today with the video of the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi. The model was presented at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and is basically an excuse to unite two Italian brands - Maserati and Fendi - in a fashion car mix. The GranCabrio keeps its 4.7-litre V8 engine with 440 hp but gets a new Fendi trim.

The GranCabrio Fendi edition gets a special three-layer paint in iridescent gold, 19-inch Trident Design wheels and Fendi logos on the door sills and upholstery, with the Maserati logo at times featured in yellow. Standing out in particular are the Fendi yellow brake callipers. See how it evolved in the Fendi Maserati making of video.

While the new Maserati SUV might be what we’re all interested in from Maserati at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, it won’t the only thing the trident brand brings to its stand. Taking things a notch further from the Fiat 500 Gucci is this Maserati GranCabrio Fendi special edition model created in collaboration with Silvia Venturini Fendi.

The new Maserati Fendi model has a triple coat of paint in an iridescent gold effect called Grigio Fiamma Dorato or grey flame gold. It gets matched to Fendi’s traditional yellow as an interior trim, while we get timber inserts in the car around the dash and door panelling.

That yellow Fendi touch adorns the brake callipers and the trident badge embroidered onto the head rests. The seats have double stitching with the Fendi logo and the leather seat trim also features on the dash, gearstick and floor mats. 19-inch Trident Design wheels are included, there is Fendi writing on the door sills and finally there is a Fendi and Maserati integrated badge with the serial number, too.

After the standard Fiat 500 by Gucci we now get the cabrio version all trendy with the Italian fashion brand. The 500C by Gucci comes after 3,000 orders have already been placed for the hard top job. The new soft-top variant comes in either black or white with chrome trim and the special green-red-green Gucci stripe on the roof.

There won’t be any Gucci stripe on the side, but the 500C gets the same 16-inch wheels as the Fiat 500 by Gucci, with the fashion house’s logo in the centre. On the inside we get two-tone Frau leather seats, more chrome trim and Gucci logo peppered throughout the cabin on various surfaces.

The Fiat 500C by Gucci price is €20,000 and that also gets you air conditioning, seven airbags, blue&me system, parking sensors, CD MP3 radio and multifunction steering wheel in leather. As part of the trendy feel, the 500C by Gucci will get snazzy debuts in Saint Tropez, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Geneva and various Italian locations in summer.
