This is the best that the legendary Italian design house has in them right now. It’s called the Bertone Nuccio, which sounds like a sort of espresso, and looks strange and impractical. The car is actually named after Nuccio Bertone and will appear in the sheetmetal at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, which starts March 6th.
The windscreen is very long and rakish, and is flanked by two bulges that look like the ‘brows’ of a lizard. Other striking features include an orange roof and a strange front grille that looks like it has metal twigs in it.

Seriously, we think these sorts of concepts are an idea of the past. Nobody is going to be impressed by an evocative press release and cars inspired by nature in the era of the iPhone. That and the fact that the wheels don’t match to look of the car means we’re giving it the thumbs down. About the only cool thing is the taillight bar that goes across the car.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
