A month ago I posted the news about the first dream car being developed at Stile Bertone by Jason Castriota, as reported by the new www.insideprojectm.com. Ever since I have been watching the posted development quite regularly, hoping to get some good piece of information worth reporting.
I have seen a bit of Bertone heritage, a bit of the Stile Bertone facilities, I enjoyed James -Jim – Glickenhaus interesting contributions but not much more. I am wrong, I saw something more: the full scale model being shipped to the wind tunnel for aerodynamics tests.
The image posted shows the car from the back and what I see reminds me of a recent “one off” designed by Ercole and Paolo Spada, the Chevrolet Corvette based “Coda Tronca”. The treatment of the surface is radically different. The Spada’s surface is squared and sharp, looking very high-tech. In the Stile Bertone’s latest Dream car the treatment is very soft and round but the here too to roof end up in water-drop style, extending almost to the rear bumper and looking very aerodynamics.
Now from a very reliable and official sources I have learned that the car will be unveiled at the Concorso d’Eleganza di Villa D’Este on the latest week-end of April and that it comes with a powerful V8 engine at the front. This rules out of the list of possible optional for the donating platform the Lamborghini, leaving only Aston Martin and the Chevrolet Corvette, if we have to consider only the brands listed by the Stile Bertone officially sponsored www.insideprojectm.com website.
However, if the selected chassis is from one of the listed brands I wonder if any of these other brands (all offering top performance V8) have been considered:
- Audi
- BMW
- Bentley
- Jaguar
- Infiniti
- Lexus
- Mercedes-Benz
- Porsche.
Perhaps the next Dream Car by Stile Bertone will be built on one of their chassis. Which one should it be?
