Revived Bertone brand teases mid-engine supercar.
The car teased in renderings is an obvious homage to Bertone's innovative wedge-shaped cars of the Sixties and Seventies. Bertone's first wedge was the Alfa Romeo Carabo concept of 1968, designed by a young Marcello Gandini, who went on to design the Lancia Stratos Zero concept and the Lamborghini Countach . In profile, the flying buttress reminds us a bit of the now-departed second-generation Acura NSX, though we imagine it's paying specific homage to the Carabo and Stratos Zero.
To our eyes, the concept's mirrors and flush-mount door handles appear to come from the Lamborghini Huracan, so we suspect that's the base for this car. It's not a bad base, as the Huracan is a great supercar, and it's built in huge numbers, meaning it won't be hard to source a donor car. The Huracan is a somewhat ironic choice, though, as its design draws heavily on Gandini's Bertone wedges.
