Bertone Roadster concept

Italian design house Bertone will reveal this little roadster at the Geneva Motor Show, which is based on the Fiat Panda 100HP. In concept and styling themes, much is owed to the Seat Tango concept from 2001, though the Bertone puts its two seats closer to the rear axle for more dramatic proportions. Otherwise, the most memorable feature is the light/dark graphics and the use of transparent door-panels.

Further details are scant, but presuming the 1.4 liter engine is also shared with the Panda, expect the Roadster's top speed to be around 120mph, with 0-60 done in 9.5 seconds. The Bertone Roadster concept also marks the firm's 95th anniversary. Last year, Bertone revealed the Suagna concept, which used the larger Grande Punto as a platform.
