Concept Car introduced at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show.
Country of origin: Italy

Bertone Birusa is a concept car that interprets a classic theme for the company: uncompromising Italian sportiness as a means to achieve possession of an exclusive object, and supremely enjoyable driving. The car's architecture is based on a two-box configuration, onto which the features of a true sports car are elegantly grafted: an impressive, sloping bonnet, a tapered, drop-shaped cabin, and a short, muscular rear.

Where the engineering is concerned, we should mention the aluminium frame and the powerful 400 bhp V8 engine, both borrowed from BMW.

A concept car with a great emotional appeal, which incorporates a number of innovative technologies, the result of collaboration between Bertone and a select group of companies that are all leaders in their respective fields. One of the most entertaining and provocative proposals, is an original onboard "tender" which you can use to go into the centre of town and move around easily in absolute respect for the environment, after you have parked the sports car.
