It’s paying homage to pioneering Bertone designs from the 50’s and 70’s, merging the soft, rounded lines of the 50s with 70’s style sharp edges.The GB110 has a sensual, flowing shape continuing the aesthetics of cars like the Alfa BAT series, while also taking design cues from later wedge shaped cars such as the Carabo and Stratos Zero. For instance, these two cars have inspired the apex claw on the rear wheel arch of the GB110, that embraces the passenger compartment. Also, the glass door, an extreme design effect on the 1967 Marzal, or again the Stratos Zero is re- proposed in smaller dimensions on the doors. These doors feature kinematics that guarantee a vertical opening movement, a solution that not only looks spectacular but also celebrates the extrovert character of Bertone.” “The car is quintessentially Italian, both outside and inside. It has Italian class and style, and it is built to excite its owner and to ignite the passion of sports car aficionados. But at the same time, it’s built for everyday use. It’s practical, comfortable, and easy to manage, without exasperating its sportiness. From the outset we decided to follow a unifying concept in the design of the GB110, and that concept is The Italian Gentleman. And what does that mean exactly? Well, we want the car to convey a sense of complex elegance, sportiness, and passion. Its refinement and style, fluid lines, and muscular appearance packed together.The car presents itself with prominent muscles distributed in an elegant and refined manner. There is immense power under the hood, no doubt, but it’s wrapped in luxury and beauty. We want to create an automotive work of art that you can take along with you.” “The car is designed to radiate the concept of complex elegance, and to look powerful from all angles: The front and rear are harmonised in a combination of concave and convex forms, and of tensed muscles intended to enhance the agility of the object. From the top view we certainly notice the car's floor plan, which from the front wheel arches tends to taper into the side air intakes that lead air to the engine's radiators, together with an air curtain generated by a bridge driving the airflow on the back of the car. Also shouting out from above are the rear wheel arches that accommodate 335/25 22 tyres, which in pair with the front (255/30 21) transfer all the horsepower generated by the powertrain to the ground. It was precisely the rear end that had to be wide enough to excite those watching from behind the car. In the design of the GB110, form follows function.There are no purely aesthetic embellishments. In fact, every air inlet and every other technical element on the car has a function.” << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
