Bertone Nuccio Concept
2012 Geneva
NUCCIO: AN “EXTREME” SPORTS CAR TO CELEBRATE THE CENTENARY
Caprie (TO), 10 February 2012 – The concept car that Bertone will world preview at the Geneva Motor Show (8-18 March) to celebrate its Centenary is called the Nuccio, after the never-to-be-forgotten master of Italian styling in the world.
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. Formally, the Nuccio takes its layout from the low, muscular one-box design that is part of the company’s historic tradition. At the same time, it displays a styling language of strong emotional impact that projects the brand’s identity into the future.
The Nuccio will be under the spotlight at all the events scheduled for the Bertone Centen-ary. After the Geneva Show the car will be taken to Beijing (April) and to the Turin National Car Museum (May) where, at a gala evening, a historic exhibition will be inaugurated that will stay open till the summer. Bertone is also sponsoring the annual congress of Automo-tive News Europe (June) that will be displaying the Nuccio during its proceedings. Finally, the Concorso Italiano at Laguna Seca, California, USA (August) will be dedicated to Ber-tone as will a special edition of the Florence Unique Special Ones (September), two events that will be attended by the most important international collectors along with their vehicles.
