Bertoni was an Italian microcar brand established in 1948, located in Lodi, Lombardy. The brand was notable for producing a distinctive two-seater roadster that reflected the design trends of the immediate postwar era. The vehicle was designed by a motorcycle racer, which contributed to its sporty aesthetic.
The Bertoni featured a rear-mounted engine, specifically a 125cc Vespa unit that produced 4 brake horsepower. It was equipped with a 3-speed transmission, also derived from Vespa components. Despite its appealing design and engineering, it is believed that only one unit of the Bertoni was ever constructed, making it a rare example of postwar Italian automotive innovation.
