Fiat 500 BlackJack – Click above for high-res image
Over the years since its introduction, the Fiat 500 has had no shortage of special editions. But if the fashion-forward Diesel edition wasn't your cup of tea and the Pepto-painted Pink edition didn't tickle your fancy, the Italian automaker has another special in store. And this one's decidedly more sinister.
Called the BlackJack, the special 500 is decked out in matte black with gloss black accents, offset by a splash of red at the center of the black wheels and red brake calipers on the 1.4-liter model. UK buyers can choose between that or the more frugal 1.2-liter engine, both fitted with a stop/start system, with total production limited to just 200 units. And though no details were revealed on interior colors, you can bet it'll be just as black as the exterior.
The question is, when the Fiat 500 finally makes it Stateside, is this how you'd want yours? Follow the jump for the full press release and share your impressions in the comments section below.

Just 200 examples of the matt black supermini will be available when it goes on sale next week. As with previous special edition 500 models, the BlackJack will initially be available on-line only at www.fiat.co.uk.
The BlackJack name reinforces the character of this car: irreverent and mysterious. The 500 BlackJack is the first vehicle in this segment to offer the special paint, and is one of several exciting Fiat 500 limited editions being introduced this year.
Based on the 1.2 and 1.4 Sport specification, the Fiat 500 BlackJack features:
"The paint finish is the most striking feature of this new limited edition," says Elena Bernardelli, marketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK and Ireland. "It has previously been a characteristic of new supercars, and gives the Fiat 500 a stunning new image. I am sure the BlackJack will be a huge hit with Fiat 500 fans."
The new car costs £12,165 OTR (1.2) and £13,565 OTR (1.4).
