Bertone

Famous Italian automotive design house Stile Bertone is officially bankrupt and up for sale. The bankruptcy declaration occurred quietly on June 4 after the company failed in its attempts to present a viable recovery plan for the future or find a suitable buyer. It appears to be a case of third-time unlucky for Bertone, which narrowly avoided bankruptcy in 2007 and 2011.

Official images of the Bertone Nuccio concept have been released ahead of the stunning sports car’s unveiling at next week’s Geneva motor show. Bertone chief designer Mike Robinson told industry journal Automotive News he drew inspiration for the Nuccio concept from the epic 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero concept.
