    is this concept made by Bertone ??? it reminds me quite a lot of previous concepts he has made in the late 70's , early-ish 80's.

    there was a car in those too... you, like me, were probably having a hard time seeing it due to the 70's sasquatch that was in the way...

    Tapiro, concept car designed by Giorgetto Guigiaro based on Porsche 914/6. I believe all 914 steering columns were angled a bit (the column in my /6 certainly is), though that overhead shot makes it look like the folks at Ital Design might have moved the cabin mount even further to the left.
