Transformer toys are great little playthings, and well, they bring out our love for cars and robots. These transformers toys put two of the most popular cars of the day in the shape of the popular extraterrestrial bots. The Nissan GT-R autobot looks cool and real enough, a well executed project. The Audi R8, however, isn’t that lucky; the decepticon R8 isn’t all that good, and if it were to ever face the GT-R autobot, the R8 decepticon would be in big trouble.
Fiat helped toy icon Barbie celebrate her 50th birthday recently with a special bright pink Fiat 500 car.
If you’re planning on rushing out to your nearest Fiat dealership for your very own bright pink version of one of the most popular cars at the moment you’re going to be disappointed as this car is a one off and has been created purely to celebrate the fashion doll icon.
Designed and built in a partnership between Fiat’s style centre and Barbie-maker Mattel, the paintwork is said to resemble nail varnish, while inside the city car the upholstery is in soft, silver laminated fabric. Further highlights include LED lit vanity mirror and bright crystal encrusted hubcaps. The car was driven by a real-life Ken and Barbie through the streets of Milan, before arriving at a fashionable Milanese department store.
“Barbie is a looker, smart enough to listen to everyone, a universal ambassador opting for a car that never divides, but frees everyone from having to declare their social status,” said Roberto Giolito, Fiat Style Director and creator of the Fiat 500.
