Bertone, the legendary Italian design house, returns with a 1,100 hp hypercar GB110

After creating countless iconic supercars, Italian coachbuilder Bertone filed for bankruptcy in 2014. But now it's back on the scene with the GB110 hypercar - a powerful vehicle ready to make its mark on the roads once again!

Called the GB110, the mid-engined two-seater features styling cues that pay homage to Bertone's past masters like the Alfa BAT cars of the 1950s, the Carabo of the late 1960s that went on to inspire the Lamborghini Countach, and particularly, the razor-edged Stratos Zero. Bertone says it will build 33 examples, but doesn't reveal how much they'll cost, or several other key details about its new creation.

The Bertone promises astounding power with its 1,100 PS (1,085 horsepower) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) combustion engine that can spin of up to 8,400 rpm. Not only is the car equipped with a seven-speed transmission and all-wheel drive but it's also been engineered to run on synthetic fuels generated from plastic waste - making this model one of the most ecofriendly vehicles yet! And don't forget about those iconic butterfly doors.

 

 

The GB110 is claimed to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.79 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.79 seconds and can hit 300 km/h (186 mph) from rest in 14 seconds, making it only slightly slower than a Bugatti Chiron. Bertone gives the top speed as "over" 380 km/h (236 mph).

Bertone is also being vague about the GB110's chassis. The company's announcement says that it "is based on components from a German manufacturer." The car rides on independent double wishbones at both ends, and there are four-way adjustable dampers.

 

 

The renowned Bertone design house was revived by two brothers, Mauro and Jean-Franck Ricci. However, it is still unknown where production will take place or when assembly begins. Additionally, the cost of this remarkable hypercar remains an enigma.
