“The Nuccio is an ‘extreme’ sportscar that puts an evolutionary imprint on the concept that is built into Bertone’s dna: the mid-rear engined berlinetta.” So says Bertone in the press release you’ll find below. Who are we to argue?
As is customary with such machinery from the styling house, what we have here is a distinctive wedge shape with an impossibly massive windshield that sits as close to the ground as physics will allow. It looks kind of like an orange and grey dust buster … and we mean that in the nicest way possible. Named after founder Giovanni Bertone’s son, the Nuccio was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Turin-based styling house.
As far as what’s under the doorstop-shaped bodywork, we only know it features a 4.3-liter V8 with 480 horsepower that comes from Ferrari – we’ve heard through the grapevine that the Nuccio is based on the guts of a Ferrari F430.
