Discover the Bertone universe in Model

This collection brings together Bertone's most iconic creations, from revolutionary concept cars to production models that have left their mark on their era. Here you will find the famous sports coupés that have made the Turin-based company's reputation, including memorable collaborations with Lancia , Alfa Romeo and Fiat .

Exceptional sedans sit alongside bold convertibles and sleek coupes that characterize the Bertone style. Each Model tells a story, that of an era when the automobile was, above all, a rolling art object, crafted by expert hands according to an uncompromising aesthetic vision.

The exceptional legacy of Carrozzeria Bertone

Founded in 1912 by Giovanni Bertone in Turin, Carrozzeria Bertone has established itself as one of the world's leading automotive design firms. Under the leadership of Nuccio Bertone since the 1950s, the company revolutionized the aesthetic approach to European automobiles. The Bertone style is characterized by clean lines, sculpted volumes, and a constant search for harmony between function and beauty.

The 1960s and 1970s marked Bertone's golden age, a period during which masterpieces such as the Lamborghini Miura, the Alfa Romeo Montreal, and the Lancia Stratos were born. These creations, now immortalized in Model, bear witness to an era when Italian coachbuilders dictated global aesthetic trends. Each model in my collection perpetuates this legacy by faithfully reproducing the proportions and details that made these exceptional automobiles famous.

The Fender Corner Anecdote

A fascinating anecdote illustrates Bertone's creative genius: the creation of the Lamborghini Miura in 1966. Marcello Gandini, then a young designer at Bertone, was inspired by the lines of a fighting bull to design this revolutionary supercar. The single-piece front hood integrates the pop-up headlights in a design of absolute purity. This typically Bertone approach consisted of sculpting the automobile like a work of art, prioritizing aesthetic emotion over technical constraints.

This design philosophy is evident in every Bertone creation, whether it's a French car dressed by the Turin-based company or a futuristic concept car. Bertone's influence extends far beyond the automotive world: his creations have inspired a generation of industrial designers and continue to influence contemporary aesthetics.
