| Bertone Suagną, concept done painstakingly |
The Bertone Suagną is a concept car that interprets the theme of the coupe-cabriolet with aggressive elegance, achieving levels of roominess and comfort that are absolutely unknown on this type of car. The name comes from the adjective Suagną that, in Piedmont's dialect, means a job done painstakingly, paying scrupulous attention to every detail.
Developed around the Fiat Grande Punto, the Bertone Suagną has extremely dynamic graphics which elaborate on a theme dear to Bertone: an open sports car, dedicated to young drivers, agile and easily handled, with a strong, sparkling personality.
The Bertone Suagną has a strong, aggressive graphic identity, the result of uncompromising stylistic research, over and above the latest fashions, in the best Bertone tradition.
The extremely dynamic volumetric proposal that resulted is based on a coupe body. The high, muscular tail holds the roof, which folds in two and disappears into the boot.
The rear end links up to the high, arching waistline, which gives tension to the whole side. The way the masses seem to urge forward is partly the effect of a slash that emphasises the arched waistline.
The low, sleek roof forms a single whole with the sloping windscreen, which defines the front volume.
The roof system of the Bertone Suagną was designed and built in a short time by CTS, Car Top System, German convertible specialist. The roof system consists of a two-piece retractable hard top.
The main advantage of this roof concept with the steep backlite is that it makes the parcel shelf unnecessary. Its distinguishing feature is the steep backlite that can be lowered independently of whether the roof is open or closed. It is thus possible to travel with the roof closed and the backlite lowered, so as to have a fresh air supply inside the cab. |
