Coachbuilders To Debut New Models
If you like Italian design and/or coachbuilding, this year's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy will be a real treat. The event, very similar to our own Concours de Elegance, kicks of on April 24th and 3 coachbuilders (2 Italian) are said to be debuting new vehicles.
If you like Italian design and/or coachbuilding, this year's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy will be a real treat. The event, very similar to our own Concours de Elegance, kicks of on April 24th and 3 coachbuilders (2 Italian) are said to be debuting new vehicles.
Bertone, Zagato and British sports-car manufacturer Morgan are the companies. Legendary designer Stile Bertone's rumored debut is a highly anticipated V8-powered 2-seater in the vein of 2008's B.A.T 11.
Speculation is that Zagato will be debuting the finalized production version of the Perana Z-One (pictured). I wonder what changes the car will get on it's way to production.
If true, it will be the only production vehicle debuting at the show (which will also have displays from many other companies). Morgan's is said to be a 2-seater based on the Aeromax. There is a possibility for production on that, depending on feedback.
That's not all though, other car's of interest include BMW's "GINA Light" concept design study, the Infiniti Essence Concept, a driveable Aston Martin One-77 and Fisker's Karma!
Hopefully we'll get some nice real life pictures of the Karma in a beautiful setting. Until now it's only been at autoshows and Fisker's press photography isn't all that great (not that anyone's is really, other then for advertising).
Other then historical vehicles of course, Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy only allows driveable concept vehicles from with the last 3 years. It's a beauty contest also unique for it's ability for show-goers to select the award for most beautiful. Sounds like it should be a really great show! Looking forward to seeing what comes out of it.
