Bertone celebrated their centennial anniversary with this car. The concept was named ’Nuccio’ in honor of Nuccio Bertone, the son of company patriarch Giovanni Bertone. It was designed as an evolution of the company’s "cab forward" that started with the 1967 Alfa Romeo Carabo, the 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero, and the 1973 Lamborghini Countach. The concept combines elements from the three concepts in an attempt to create a modern, sporty, and "extreme," fully functional sports car.
The Nuccio Concept borrowed its large, tapered windshield - a trademark signature for Bertone - from the Stratos Zero, as well as the so-called "twin peaks," but with a more futuristic interpretation. The first peak is visible at the highest point of the roof, while the second is placed behind the first one. Together they form the famous "eye of the crocodile."
Everything else on the Nuccio Concept is new, starting with its roof inspired by the avant-garde tensile structure technology used in modern architecture and going up to the air intakes located on the front bumper and lower rocker panels. There are also side and rear air outlets positioned strategically around the engine compartment.
The concept’s roof is painted in bright orange - Nuccio Bertone’s favorite color - and has been combined with a gray car body color which is also treated with a high- tech transparent coat, "sirallico" bronze.
The headlamps and the tail-lamps both feature LED technology and extend across the entire width of the front and rear ends of the car.
The Bertone Nuccio is powered by a 4.3 liter V8 Ferrari engine that delivers a total of 480 HP. It is mated to an automatic "triptronic" transmission, located under the steering wheel.
