2012-02-10 Bertone previews Nuccio Concept for Geneva - Lancia Stratos Zero reimagined

Author: editor Arunas

A centenary for a company is great achievement singnifying a long and colourful history, establishment, ups and downs. For a legendary Italian design studio like Bertone this also means a unique line-up of creations which are both production models and concept automobiles.

Having in mind that the most spectacular studies were penned by Maestro Nuccio Bertone, a team of Stile Bertone (which operates separately from Carrozzeria Bertone) has decided to give a proper tribute to the one the most prolific designers of the last century.

Named Nuccio Concept, a new wedge-shaped concept automobile will be a state-of-the-art reimagination of probably the most memorable model of all Bertone's designs - the Lancia Startos Zero of 1970. A mid-engined supercoupe will emphasize both styling traditions and new design language.

After a world premiere at Geneva next month, teh Nuccio Concept will be demonstrated all around the globe including Beijing Auto Show and Concorso Italiano at Laguna Seca, California.

For this moment, there is no word about the power sources of the new concept car, but updates are coming very soon.

PRESS RELEASE:

NUCCIO: AN “EXTREME” SPORTS CAR TO CELEBRATE THE CENTENARY

Caprie (TO), 10 February 2012 – The concept car that Bertone will world preview at the Geneva Motor Show (8-18 March) to celebrate its Centenary is called the Nuccio, after the never-to-be-forgotten master of Italian styling in the world. The Nuccio is an “extreme” sportscar that puts an evolutionary imprint on the concept that is built into Bertone’s dna: the mid-rear engined berlinetta. Formally, the Nuccio takes its layout from the low, muscular one-box design that is part of the company’s historic tradition. At the same time, it displays a styling language of strong emotional impact that projects the brand’s identity into the future. The Nuccio will be under the spotlight at all the events scheduled for the Bertone Centen-ary. After the Geneva Show the car will be taken to Beijing (April) and to the Turin National Car Museum (May) where, at a gala evening, a historic exhibition will be inaugurated that will stay open till the summer. Bertone is also sponsoring the annual congress of Automo-tive News Europe (June) that will be displaying the Nuccio during its proceedings. Finally, the Concorso Italiano at Laguna Seca, California, USA (August) will be dedicated to Ber-tone as will a special edition of the Florence Unique Special Ones (September), two events that will be attended by the most important international collectors along with their vehicles.
