Directly inspired by the 1947 Fiat 500 Barchetta designed by the then young Nuccio Bertone.
Bertone presented the Fiat Barchetta concept car in 2007 in celebration of its 95th anniversary.
The historic relationship between the two companies has lasted for
more than eighty years and has generated more than fifty
highly successful models counting concept cars, one-offs and production cars.
The upper shell of the Barchetta concept was entirely hand beaten and
polished by the master panel beaters still working for Bertone today.
This single piece of aluminium extended like a cloak from the front tip of the bonnet
to embrace the upper part of the sides and rear arches, terminating in the tail.
