On February 10th, Bertone released the first images of the Nuccio, a dramatic showcar that will have its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show (March 8-18th 2012) to celebrate the centenary of Bertone.
As one can see, the Nuccio is an “extreme” sport design which represents the ultimate evolution of the concept of the central rear engine automobile. Do you feel a sense of deja vu? The new Nuccio was, you guessed it, inspired by the Stratos Zero created by Nuccio Bertone in 1970.
The new concept car from Turin was designed by Michael Robinson at Bertone Style and has much of the flair and drama of the legendary Stratos. Like the Stratos, the Nuccio has a strong emotional impact; it is short, low, wide and powerful. It would be both difficult and a real thrill if one were to drive it on the streets.
