Italy’s Trussardi Celebrates Centennial with Limited Edition BMW 5-Series GT

[Bartek S.]

The design of the 5-Series GT by Trussardi is said to have been inspired by the world of leather and gloves, which characterized the origins of the Italian brand. The emphasis was on new exterior details and a more luxurious interior treatment.

On the outside, Trussardi’s designers tried to polish up –pun intended- BMW’s crossover model with a an exclusive warm metallic brown named ‘Heraldic Brown’ that features three layers of paint. Numerous elements, such as the double kidney grilles and the window line decorations are in the same color as the body, while the strip in the front air intake and the 20-inch alloy wheels are finished in a dark grey matte color. Trussardi’s coat of arms that appears on the front fenders rounds off the exterior changes.

Inside, the 5-Series GT’s seats are covered in a special Glove Beige color, with contrasting stitching that creates a caned motif inspired Trussardi’s glove series, while the company’s logo is embossed on the headrests and the center tunnel.

The 5-Series GT by Trussardi is available with two petrol and two diesel engines, all of which can be equipped with BMW’s all-wheel drive system. The engine range includes a 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 245HP (530d) or 300HP (535d), a 3.0-liter turbocharged petrol with 306HP (535i) and a 4.4-liter V8 turbocharged petrol with 407HP (550i).

Classy presentation though the brown grill is probably something that would make me yawn in the long run. Surprisingly my distaste for this car is diminishing the car more see it on the road. For an MPV it doesn't look that boring.

I was in Paris recently for some fashion events and you would be surprised at the choice of VIP Taxi's for many.

Normally you would expect nothing but nose to tail S-Klasse but there was a lot of 5er GT's Which is exactly what this car is about - First class travel.

I think it is perfect for being transported, if one would like something different from a 7er or S-klasse. The only think I don't like is the pig nose, but then again, sitting in the back, I wouldn't notice it

This browned out version, however, I don't really feel.

I think the colour is just amazing. I've always wanted to see a colour like this painted onto a car. Imagine it on a Rolls Royce or Bentley

I can't believe there's not a single decent shot of the dash.
