"One of the big 3 studios in the world and, like Pininfarina, it has assembly plants. Founded by Giovanni Bertone in 1912 as a small coach-builder and then took over by his son Nuccio Bertone (1914-97) in 1930. Nuccio was not a designer but he employed some greatest designers - Franco Scaglione (who penned Alfa Giulietta Sprint which drove Bertone to mass production), Giugiaro (Fiat 850 Spider), and then even more fruitful partnership with Marcello Gandini for 15 years, during which created Lamborghini Miura (66), Espada (68), Urraco (71), Countach (72), Alfa Montreal (71), Maserati Khamsin (72), Fiat X1/9 (73), Ferrari 308GT4 (73) and Lancia Stratos (74). In the 80s and 90s, Bertone concentrated on the production of X1/9 and the design of Citroen BX (84), XM (89) and Xantia (92), then the assembly of Opel Astra cabriolet and Fiat Punto cabriolet.
In the past 25 years, Bertone's designs emphasised angular and wedged shapes. This made them looking special and futuristic but also drove customers away, especially in the organic-fancy late 80s and 90s. Today only Citroen remains to be its long-term admirer. On the other hand, Opel still employed Bertone to build Astra Coupe."

"Marcello Gandini (1943-) started career as a designer in 1965, taking the vacancy Giugiaro left in Bertone. During 15 years of service, he gave birth to many greatest sports car designs of the century, including Lamborghini Miura, Countach, Espada, Urraco and Maserati Khamsin. After that, he became a self-employed stylist and continued creating some other fabulous cars such as Lamborghini Diablo (modified by Chrysler), Cizeta V16T and Bugatti EB110.
Undoubtedly, his designs are very aggressive, imaginative and futuristic, very suitable to supercars but usually has to sacrifice practicality (such as lack of headroom, poor visiblity, difficult entry and poor aerodynamics). Nearly all his designs, bar Miura, were loyal to his love affair of angular and wedge profile, even until his very latest car, Qvale Mangusta. So far he has yet to prove his talent in designing mainstream production cars."
