Now that looks like fun - the Betrone Runabout 🏁🇮🇹
Just chanced upon this one - a new version of a historical concept, to be produced in 25 pieces as either a Barchetta or a Targa. Powered by a Toyota 3,5l supercharged V6 with 475 hp and fairly light. And with typical Bertone looks 🙌🏻

I wonder how that came to my mind?
Perhaps the breakfast table this morning
Or to put it another way, "An Opel is simply a Lotus with too many apple fritters and bananas for breakfast"
And one that has been engineered by GM to start reliably irrespective of weather or temperature 😉🦾
Also has spare parts -- "In stock, sir" and warranty -- "No problem, sir" and insurable -- "Yes, it's on our list, sir"
Beautiful!
Interesting they are going with a supercharged version of the 3.5l and not the 3.5l twin-turbo that has had the "grenading" issues (and subsequent mass recalls) from the Toyota Sequoia and Lexus GX current generation vehicles.
The supercharged is a known quantity for small scale manufacturers…
Like Lotus in the past. Not sure the twin turbo would be offered 🤷🏻♂️
