Named after its never-to-be-forgotten master of Italian styling, Nuccio Bertone, the concept car is described as an "extreme" sports car that takes the next evolutionary step on the iconic wedge shaped mid-rear engined, rear-wheel drive, berlinetta design from the 1970s.
Bertone says that the Nuccio harks back to some of its best concept cars such as the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo, the 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero and the 1971 Lamborghini Countach.
Some design elements from the era include the cab-forward design, the tapered, trapezoidal windscreen and the "twin peaks" on the orange roof.
The same color is used in the concept's interior, which features classic analog instruments with a prominent central tachometer and anatomical sports seats.
A nod to the future is the 26-inch LCD screen mounted behind the seats. It replaces the conventional windscreen, which due to the shape of the car and the mid-engined layout would offer no visibility, projecting the image from the rear view camera.
