Book: Bertone - Italian Car icons (German)

Bella Italia!

Extravagant car design in Italian There is no doubt that Studio Bertone is one of the greats of Italian car design. At the drawing boards of famous designers such as Franco Scaglione, Marcello Gandini and Marc Deschamps, timeless classics were created for well-known car brands such as Fiat, Lancia and BMW, but above all for Lamborghini. Clear edges and a futuristic flair made the Stile Bertone unmistakable.

The company's illustrious history came to an end in 2014 with its dissolution. What remains are countless luxury cars and Italian sports cars that unmistakably bear the stamp of Carozzeria Bertone.

The full range of their work is presented in this stunning illustrated book, which brings together some of the most valuable studies and prototypes by nine different chief designers on over 300 pages.
