Bertone was already a well-known name in the world of coachbuilders in the early sixties. Less known at the time was Giorgetto Giugiaro, a young and promising designer. The collaboration between Bertone and Giugiaro produced numerous masterpieces. One of these is the interpretation of the Maserati 5000GT, an elegant and gritty coupé that anticipates many solutions that will find further success in Bertone's later works.
