Bertone's new supercar claims 1100 hp and 236-mph top speed.
, and it's just revealed the GB110, the concept for a new supercar that makes some bold claims.
Notably, 1100 hp, 1100 Nm of torque , 0-186 mph in 14 seconds, and a 236-mph top speed. Oh, and it runs on fuel made from plastic waste. Bertone says that 33 will be built, and customer deliveries will begin in 2024. The company also says more cars like this are to come. The press release notes that"[t]he development of the chassis is based on components from a German manufacturer." We can't help but spot the door handles and mirrors from the Lamborghini Huracan, itself a supercar that draws much from Bertone's design heritage. The Huracan and the Audi R8 are based around the same basic chassis, so we suspect that the GB110 will be a heavy rework of one of the two, though it doesn't look like a simple reskin.
We'd be remiss not to talk about the name. It is obviously a reference to Gruppo Bertone's 110th anniversary, but it is almost identical to the Bugatti EB110 of the Nineties. That car was named for Ettore Bugatti's 110th anniversary. One wonders what Bugatti thinks of Bertone using such a similar name.
Pricing for the new car hasn't yet been announced, and we still have a lot of questions about its exact spec. Hopefully we'll learn and see more in due course.
