From Lambos to Fiats, now Ferraris! 
How y'all like these here custom denim seats? Must be the most expensive way to put on a pair of jeans, ever.
ItalianAutoNews.com's "Forever in Blue Jeans: Fiat scion’s denim Ferrari 599:"
What do you do when you’re heir to an enormous industrial empire? Well, pretty much anything you want. Like order up a Ferrari made to match your favorite pair of jeans.
Nope, this isn’t the latest splurge by Paris Hilton; the car you see here is reportedly owned by one Lapo Elkann, grandson of the late billionaire industrialist and Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli.
Evidently not satisfied with a Diesel-edition Fiat 500, the notorious playboy ordered up his latest ride from the family-owned company decked out in a custom two-tone matte paint job. The body is painted in baby blue, the roof, mirrors and pentagram wheels contrast in a darker shade.
Inside, the party continues with denim upholstery replacing the usual sumptuous leather. Taste being subjective and all, if you’re retching at the site of this kitchy ride, just remember: it could be worse. This guy could be running the company – and Chrysler along with it. Come to think of it, perhaps this is some sort of perverse keep-it-in-the-family nod to the AMC Gremlin X Levi’s Edition?
Bumper boo-boo?

The one-off model is distinguished by the special exterior finish. The artist used a “cracked” glaze pattern with clearly defined cracks etched at different depths to achieve the porcelain look.
“The 599 China Limited Edition model is a true masterpiece, combining rich Chinese artistic heritage with Italian design in a most spectacular way,” said Marco Mattiacci, CEO of Ferrari Asia Pacific.
We’d say that while it may look cool from an artistic perspective, we find it a little too gaudy for our automotive tastes.
