The Bertone Runabout, a design classic reborn, marks the triumphant return of the legendary 1969 concept car. After more than 50 years, Bertone breathes new life into this automotive icon with a bold blend of neo-retro aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering. The Runabout perfectly embodies the spirit of Italian craftsmanship and innovation. Built in hyper-limited production with only 25 units, this exclusive masterpiece is designed for discerning enthusiasts who appreciate purity in design and unparalleled driving pleasure.
Offered in two distinct configurations, the Runabout delivers a tailored experience to suit every taste. The Barchetta configuration promises an open-air, roofless driving experience, immersing the driver in the elements and evoking the spirit of driving joy. For those seeking versatility, the Targa configuration features a removable roof while maintaining an uncompromising connection to the car's elegant aerodynamic lines. Both variants are adorned with nautical-inspired interior craftsmanship, featuring handcrafted bi-color leather trims, minimalist steering design, and a reimagined nautical compass as a centerstage feature. Every detail celebrates analog simplicity and manual precision, making each drive an occasion.
Under the hood, the Bertone Runabout offers powerful driving performance with specifications that reach up to an impressive 460 horsepower from its 3.5L supercharged V6 engine. With a breathtaking 0–100 km/h acceleration of just 3 seconds, it is a car built to exude adrenaline and elegance equally. Starting at €350,000, this exclusive artisanal vehicle is not just a car—it’s a piece of history, a design statement, and a joy machine. From its sculptural body to its handcrafted interior, the Runabout is not only a nod to Bertone’s storied past but also a bold stride into the future of bespoke automotive design.
