Global Concepts (Part 1)
Bertone Slim

The Bertone Slim has a body shell that looks like the fuselage and cockpit of a military combat aircraft on four wheels. Bertone described it as "an interesting piece of research into urban mobility and more generally into 'fun.'" A two-seat car with tandem configuration, the Slim is 3 m (9.8 ft) long and 1 m (3.3 ft) wide. It has a two-cylinder 15-kW (20-hp) Lombardini engine and is categorized in Europe as a four-wheeled cycle or quadricycle. The sliding cockpit style roof allows easy access.
