One of Italy’s great coachbuilders, Bertone, will celebrate its centennial at the upcoming 2012 Geneva Motor Show with the world premiere of a new sports coupe concept called the Nuccio.
For the time being, all we get from Bertone are two sketchy renderings that hint at an edgy design, possibly inspired from the Italian company’s wedge-shaped supercars of the 1970s.
The concept sports car is named after the son of the founder of the company, Giuseppe “Nuccio” Bertone, who took the reins from Giovanni Bertone after the end of World War II.
Last year, Bertone had shown a study for a sporty-looking four-door sedan for Jaguar named the B99.
It’s worth noting that Bertone is responsible for some of the most beautiful cars in history including the original Lamborghini Miura, several Alfa Romeos like the production GT Junior, GTA and the BAT Concepts, and the Lancia Stratos, just to mention a few of the company’s famous creations.
