The fascinating history of the Carabo Bertone

The Carabo project was born in 1968 in the Bertone workshops, under the direction of the brilliant Marcello Gandini. Based on the chassis of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, this revolutionary concept car foreshadowed the angular lines that would characterize the supercars of the following decades.

Gandini, who would later design the Lamborghini Countach and Lancia Stratos, expressed his futuristic vision of the automobile with the Carabo. The name "Carabo" refers to the golden scarab beetle (Carabus auratus), an insect whose metallic reflections inspired the distinctive color of this unique prototype.

This creation marks a turning point in the history of automotive design , definitively abandoning the organic curves of the 1960s to embrace a revolutionary geometric aesthetic. The Carabo's influence can still be felt today in the creations of the greatest manufacturers.

Collectors will also appreciate the Alfa Romeo Models that naturally complete this collection, as well as the 1960s cars to place the Carabo in its historical context.

A striking anecdote

The history of the Carabo contains a fascinating anecdote that perfectly illustrates the spirit of innovation of the era. During its presentation at the Paris Motor Show in 1968, the prototype attracted the attention of a mysterious visitor who turned out to be a NASA engineer . Impressed by the vehicle's revolutionary aerodynamics, he suggested that Bertone study the adaptation of certain stylistic elements for future lunar vehicles.

This unlikely encounter between the automobile and space exploration is a testament to the absolute avant-gardism of the Carabo project. Although this space collaboration ultimately failed to materialize, it demonstrates the extent to which this creation transcended the automotive codes of its time.

The Carabo thus became the symbol of a generation of engineers and designers who constantly pushed the limits of what was possible, perfectly embodying the technological optimism of the 1960s.
