| '''Gruppo Bertone''' is an Italian car styling and [[coachbuilder|coachbuilding]] house, which also manufactures cars. Bertone styling is very distinctive, with most cars having a strong "family resemblance" even if badged by different manufacturers. Bertone has styled cars for [[Abarth]], [[Alfa Romeo]], [[Ferrari]], [[Fiat]], [[Iso Automobile]], [[Lancia]], [[Lamborghini]] and [[Volvo Cars]] among others. In addition the Bertone studio were responsible for two of the later designs of the famous Italian motorscooter " [[Lambretta]]". The highly innovative and influential-if unsuccessful "Luna" range and the DL/GP -a makeover of the established LI Ser III design

| The company is based in Turin. It was founded as '''Carrozzeria Bertone''' in 1914 by [[Giovanni Bertone]], with designer [[Nuccio Bertone]] taking over after World War II. The company was divided into two units — the Carrozzeria building as many as 40,000 cars per year at its height, and the styling studio, '''Stile Bertone'''. The company is currently headed by [[Lilli Bertone]], widow of Nuccio. A member of the family is named Corey Bertone who currently lives in the US.
