Mantide, Ultra High Performance Car by Stile Bertone Stile Bertone has a long history of creating one-off prototypes based on the mechanicals of Chevrolet's sporting automobiles spanning over 50 years.

Bertone's choice of the Fiat brand to celebrate its 95th anniversary was both natural and emotional...
