Arnolt MG

Combining British mechanics and running gear from MG and Italian styling from Betone it was design for an American market. With final assembly and sales handled by the aforementioned Arnolt in Illinois.

Innocenti Mini

What do you call a Mini when its wearing a Bertone styled body? The Innocenti Mini. Now you’d be expecting this to be an alternative from a separate company offering a “modernised” Mini which by 1974 was 15 years old. But this alternative was effectively offered by British Leyland who built the Mini at the time and owned the very Italian sounding marque Innocenti.

Maserati Khamsin

Now this it a footnote in Maserati sports car production, not only was it the first Bertone styled Maserati but more importantly it’s the only true wedge the company ever produced. It may have been a Kneejerk reaction to the ground breaking Lamborghini Countach, styled by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, only a few years before who also penned this.

Chevrolet Corvair Testudo

In the early 60’s American car manufacturers were reaching out to embrace more subtle styling and Bertone of Italy was the man to go to for that much desired sophisticated European look. In 1963 he produced this rear aircooled boxer engine tilting roofed concept and I’m sure you can see a few styling cues borrowed from a few other cars. I can definitely see E Type Jaguar in there which is not bad thing as well as hints (just look at those rear air intakes and over all shape) of the yet to be built Lamborghini Miura also designed by Bertone.

Volvo 780

Until recently Volvo hadn’t had much luck with its large coupes, the Bertone designed 262C was an example of this and unfortunately the 780 also designed by Bertone, also sits in this “rare” category due to its lack of success. Debuted at the International Auto Show in Geneva in 1985 before becoming available in Europe in 1986 and the States in 1987.

Bertone Mantide

First unveiled in 2009 via sneal peaks on YouTube as Project M, the styling compant Bertone took a Corvette ZR1 (at that time the "King of the Ring") and added a new body over the chassis. Increasing its performance at the same time, both by tweaking out 638bhp out of the supercharged V8, to reducing the weight by 100kg and increasing the all aspects of the aerodymaics from drag coefficent to downforce.
