Chassis:
Two years after debuting the curvaceous Lamborghini Miura, Bertone took the wraps of the wedge-shaped Alfa Romeo Carabo, signalling a new direction in supercar design. Both the name and paint were derived from a small bright green beetle. Much inspiration was drawn from the Carabo when the Lamborghini Countach was designed, which inherited the overall shape and the scissor doors first seen on the Alfa Romeo show car. Today the Carabo is on display in Alfa Romeo's excellent museum, together with the other three design studies. It is seen here at the 2004 Paleis 't Loo Concours d'Elegance, where Bertone's work was celebrated.
