Fiat’s latest addition this summer – the 500C – has a new fan in the form of another supermodel, Elle Macpherson.

Elle, who already drives a 500 hatchback, asked Fiat Group Automobiles UK if she could try a 500C – the convertible version of Fiat’s popular supermini.

“I love the Fiat 500C, it has that sexy, cool, Italian thing going on!” says Elle. “I like the way the car drives – it is perfect for cities with its small turning circle and the easy way it manoeuvres.”

The Fiat 500C was launched in the UK earlier this month and is expected to be one of the motor industry’s biggest hits this summer. The new models start at £11,300.
