Bear in mind listening to about that Bertone supercar from a number of years in the past? Really, it was late 2022 when the reborn Italian design group introduced the GB110—a Bertone-badged machine designed to run on artificial gas created from plastic waste. The corporate claimed an output of 1,100 horsepower from an unknown engine, sitting in a chassis with German origins. We had been understandably skeptical, however the GB110 is actual.
The automobile not too long ago had its dwell debut in Monaco, and with that got here particulars about what’s below the engine cowl. The GB110 makes use of a twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V-10 making 1,124 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. Energy goes to all 4 wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch computerized transmission, turning staggered wheels measuring 21 inches in entrance, and 22 on the again. Carbon-ceramic brakes carry the GB110 to a halt.
If this powertrain sounds acquainted, you are seemingly interested by the Audi R8 or the Lamborghini Huracan. Bertone makes no point out of a supply automobile for the GB110, however the powertrain matches with the corporate’s earlier point out of German origins. As for the bodywork, we see loads of Huracan DNA in among the traces, notably the doorways, mirrors, and roof.
It is secure to imagine the Huracan is the place to begin for the GB110, however for now, a minimum of, Bertone has nothing extra to say. Nonetheless, the Huracan does not go 217 mph. And it might’t run from a standstill to 186 mph in 12.9 seconds. The GB110 can, in line with Bertone, thanks partially to a weight of simply 3,137 kilos.
And it does not look unhealthy. The outside styling is an actual match to renderings we noticed in 2022, and it is not like Bertone has a fame for ugly autos. In creating the GB110, the corporate reviewed quite a few designs all through its lengthy historical past. Particular consideration was given to the Lancia Stratos Zero, the Lamborghini Countach, and the timeless Miura.
Curiously, Bertone does not have a lot to say concerning the GB110’s inside. Really, there’s nothing to say apart from customization for consumers will probably be a part of the possession expertise. Count on a variety of supplies and trim for the greenhouse, with an emphasis on carbon fiber.
You can too count on to not see many on the street. Bertone is just constructing 33, and pricing is not talked about. If it’s important to ask, you in all probability cannot afford it.
