In honor
of one of the most famous Italian wines, Sassicaia,
Aznom has created a special edition of the 500 Cabrio,
featuring wood detailing for interior and exterior and
with a special matte bicolor paint, called the 500
Sassicaia.
Bearing the name of the Tuscan wine which is produced at
the San Guido estate, it immediately draws the attention
for the particular shade of matte beige used for the
bicolor paint of the body and the fabric of the capote.
A closer inspection can't but notice the wood exterior
details, material chosen for the side mirror covers, for
the trunk handle and for the side mouldings, the last
being branded with the Sassicaia logo. The selected wood
is a clear reference to the oak barrels in which the
renown Sassicaia wine matures.
Exteriors are further
embellished by a series of details made of brushed brass
casting like the bezel housing the official badge of the
marquis Incisa della Rocchetta on the door pillars and
the limited edition name tag showing the number assigned
to the car on the tailgate.
Inside the 500
Sassicaia by Aznom there are the usual material
refinements that aim to distinguish it as a product of
the specialist Aznom brand. The company's factory, which
is based at the Monza race track, chose a
beige-and-dark-brown full-grain leather to cover the
door panels, the steering wheel, the odometer cover and
the seats, further embellished by the Jacquard beige
fabric with a Sassicaia monogram and the similar badge
embroidered on the seat backs. More wood is found in the
interior, completely covers the dashboard, which is
further enhanced by an embossed Sassicaia logo.
The makeover is
completed by an Aznom designed handbag kit, called the
Gran Tour Sassicaia collection, that includes the
Bauletto and suitcase styled to fit the trunk of the
500C. The set, in the same Jacquard fabric as the
interiors and wrought out of Tuscan leather, contributes
to give a traditional and at the same time modern taste
to the 500 Sassicaia branded 500C. The 500 Sassicaia by
Aznom will be produced in limited edition on demand and
equipped with Kumho tyres, which is a technical partner
of Aznom.
