This is the Bertone Nuccio concept - an amuse
bouche of 100 years of Bertone design. And it'll be unveiled in a matter
of days at this year's Geneva auto show.
It's been scribbled by
the legendary styling house's current design boss, Michael Robinson, who
seems to have been inspired by.,.. the 1970's. Namely some of the
company's greatest hits, including the Lamborghini Miura and Countach,
Lancia Stratos, and Fiat X1/9.
So, why's it called the Nuccio?
Nuccio Bertone was the son of the eponymous Giovanni Bertone, the design
house's founder. Nuccio took over the business in 1950 and continued
steering it until his death in 1997.
During his time, Nuccio
helped fathom the iconic outlines for Lambretta's GP/DL scooters, Fiat's
850 Spider, Alfa's Montreal, the 1965 Ford Mustang and Ferrari 250GT
coupe.
