The Stanguellini 1100 Berlinetta speciale by Bertone.

Vehicle Overview

The Stanguellini 1100 Berlinetta by Bertone marks a pivotal collaboration between two titans of the automotive industry: Nuccio Bertone and Vittorio Stanguellini. Their historic encounter in 1947 ignited a partnership that would give rise to a line of iconic sports tourers, all built upon the mechanical base of the Fiat 1100. Debuting at the prestigious 1947 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza and later showcased at the 1947 Mostra della Carrozzeria Italiana, the Stanguellini 1100 made an indelible mark on the automotive landscape. Crafted under the creative direction of Luigi Rapi, this masterpiece introduced innovative design elements such as ponton sides, seamlessly flowing from the car’s nose to its rear end at ‘belt’ level. Bertone’s visionary concept extended beyond the Stanguellini, influencing the aesthetics of subsequent creations like the Lancia Aprilia, the Fiat 1500, and the one-off Healey Cabriolet. Manufactured at Bertone’s facility with a monoblock shell constructed from welded steel, the Stanguellini 1100 Berlinetta exemplified cutting-edge engineering. Its integral body structure not only showcased Bertone’s mastery of design but also contributed to the widespread adoption of this construction method within the industry. Remarkably lightweight at a mere 725 kg, the Stanguellini 1100 possessed an inherent agility and responsiveness that proved instrumental in its dominance on the motorsport circuit during its era. Indeed, the Stanguellini 1100 Berlinetta’s exceptional performance capabilities translated into a string of victories, solidifying its status as a force to be reckoned with on the track. From hill climbs to endurance races, this remarkable vehicle consistently demonstrated its prowess, earning acclaim and admiration from enthusiasts and competitors alike. As a testament to its enduring legacy, the Stanguellini 1100 Berlinetta remains a symbol of automotive excellence, revered for its blend of performance, innovation, and timeless design.
