"The famous Italian coachbuilder Bertone plans on returning to the road with the GB110 hypercar. The production is limited to just 33 units. It's the first project from the marque's new owners Mauro and Jean-Franck Ricci.

Bertone isn't disclosing the GB110's engine layout. However, the company claims it makes 1,100 bhp (820 kilowatts) and 811 pound-feet (1,100 Newton-metres). The mystery powerplant allegedly revs to 8,400 rpm. Motor1.com reached out to Bertone for additional details about the powerplant.

Bertone will supply the GB110 with fuel made from plastic waste. The company Select Fuel converts polycarbonate materials into something that can run an engine. The automaker doesn't specify how much of this combustible substance it is providing with each car.

The automaker claims the GB110 reaches 62 miles per hour (100 kilometres per hour) in 2.79 seconds, 124 mph (200 kph) in 6.79 seconds, and 186 mph (300 kph) in 14 seconds. The top speed is allegedly 236 mph (380 kph).

The drivetrain consists of a seven-speed gearbox, but Bertone doesn't specify whether this transmission is an automatic or a manual. It sends the output to an all-wheel-drive syste

Bertone is also being vague about the GB110's chassis. The company's announcement says that it "is based on components from a German manufacturer." The car rides on independent double wishbones at both ends, and there are four-way adjustable damper

Bertone says that the GB110's exterior styling takes inspiration from the brand's wedge-shaped vehicles in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, like the Lancia Stratos HF Zero concept. It has a pair of scissor-hinged doors. At the back, there are a pair of stacked exhausts in trapezoidal outlets.
There are no photos or even general details about the GB110's interior. The rendering with the door open shows a glimpse of a simple cabin with a raised fin separating the driver and passenger.
The automaker's announcement also doesn't specify details about the GB110's production. It's not clear where Bertone plans to build this model and when assembly begins. The hypercar's price is also a mystery. Motor1.com reached out to the brand for this info."

Very interesting indeed! Bertone NDA thus far on Engine and Chassis etc? There were rumours of Lamborghini Huracan. Guess we'll see what transpires!

Reminds of a limited edition front engined Ferrari's rear!

 

[A.P.]

Very mysterious car, even after reveal.

Something between Lambo and Chiron, nothing original

 

[sako97]

It’s a reskinned Huracan. Nothing to see here frankly.

Certainly, an interesting looking car, I do like the side intake design, its very striking,

The front is quite unique as well but some similarities to maybe Honda NSX

Love the top view, the rear engine cover looks fantastic

Yes it's stunning.

Yes it absolutely is. Vast swathes of information need to be revealed, we have conjecture based on nothing at the minute. I'll accept what Bertone state later.

Also, not directed to anyone just in general, I could name enough hypercar "manufacturers" that simply bolt on body kits or enhanced aesthetics to pre existing architecture and call them new cars and rinse and repeat and charge millions of dollars for the "privilege". The ones I Love being by far the worst offenders, not necessarily what comes next either.

I mean, that's how it's done. Anyone expecting completely new powertrains or engines and transmissions and carbon fibre monocouqes is, frankly very sadly mistaken.

Many I would say, some of the most "copied" forms of the last decade (like those of Ferrari too), this is very Lambo, NSX, Chiron, etc., beyond certain details, it is an example of what the Chinese would do with a supercar, but even they didn't make it so obvious, fingers down to this one

"The full spec claims 1,124 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque from a mid-mounted 5.0-liter V-10 linked to a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic gearbox"

"Bertone claims that engine and its new design will propel the car from 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, to 124 mph in 6.3 seconds, and to 186 mph in 12.9 seconds, with an electronically-limited top speed of 217 mph."
