- The Italian company plans to build just 33 examples of the GB110, celebrating its 110th anniversary.
- Power comes from a twin-turbo V10 with 1,085 hp and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque.
- Bertone says the GB110 needs just 14 seconds to sprint to 186 mph (300 km/h).
Every year, Top Marques Monaco attracts all kinds of crazy creations and blisteringly fast supercars and at this year’s edition, held earlier this month, Bertone unveiled its new GB110 supercar. The car was first previewed through a series of detailed renderings in late 2022, but this was the first time it was shown in the flesh.
Bertone is one of the most iconic automotive design houses, but it went bust in 2014. It was resurrected by two brothers and the GB110 has been built to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the company.

The body of the GB110 is unlike anything else on the market, and with so many high-priced and high-performance supercars on the market, that’s saying something. Its front end is particularly intriguing as there are a pair of narrow headlights and a slim piece of bodywork stretching between these lights that’s slightly elevated above the hood, reminding us of the R-wing from the Dodge Charger EV.

Bertone has previously acknowledged the GB110 is underpinned by the chassis of an existing car, but hasn’t specified what that car is, although it’s been speculated that it’s based around the Lamborghini Huracan. This is supported by the fact that it’s powered by a 5.2-liter V10 supplemented by a pair of turbochargers, resulting in an output of 1,085 hp (1,100 PS) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque.
Interestingly, Bertone claims that the GB110 will be the first high-performance car to be fueled by plastic waste. Partnering with Select Fuel, the company has developed patented technology to convert polycarbonate materials into renewable fuel.
“We believe that addressing pollution requires diverse solutions employing various technologies. Plastic waste must be treated as a valuable resource. Through our partnership with Select Fuel, we transform waste back into its original form,” said Jean-Franck Ricci, CEO of Bertone.
The design house claims the GB110 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.79 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 6.79 seconds, and reaches 186 mph (300 km/h) in just 14 seconds from a standstill, with a top speed exceeding 380 km/h (236 mph). Power is transmitted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to all four wheels.
The interior of the car complements the exterior’s aggressive design with a minimalist aesthetic. It features a digital instrument cluster, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and a large central spine separating the driver and passenger in a similar way to the cabin of the C8 Corvette. A small infotainment screen has been integrated, along with an array of buttons on either side of the steering wheel.
Just 33 examples are heading for the production line. Prices have not been announced.
