In an unusual design choice, the high tech car’s floors and door panels are made out of old, pockmarked wood recovered from recycled pilings that used to sit underwater beneath the lagoon of Venice.
Bertone famously designed the Lamborghini Miura in the 1960s, an iconic, low profile exotic that established the Italian house as a force. Over the years other manufacturers have commissioned Bertone for designs including Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Iso, Aston Martin, BMW, and Jaguar, among others.
Bertone has a long history with Concorso Italiano that dates back 18 years to 1994 when the Lancia Zero was presented on stage with several other concepts.
