Bertone Auto Auction / Lake Como, Italy

Between the late ’60s and the early ’80s Italian car designers embraced a very distinct  aesthetic that was modern and futuristic. The Italian design studio Bertone was responsible for some of the most iconic concept cars during this period.  Here are a few of the memorable concept cars that were up for auction at Lake Como.

Six of the coolest concept cars ever made – all the mark of legendary Italian design house Bertone – go to auction this month, by order of the Italian bankruptcy court dealing with the assets of the collapsed Bertone Group. The design arm of the business, Stile Bertone, is still very much alive, but not in a position to buy back every exhibit from its fantastic in house museum
