To re-propose to the public of the 1976 Turin Motor Show a theme particularly dear to him, namely the coupé that can be transformed into a spider, Bertone chose the chassis of the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4. Compared to the production Dino, the Bertone «Rainbow» (already evident in the name the reference to the passage from rain to sun) kept practically the same length while it was respectively wider and lower. Regardless of the validity of the stylistic proposal, the technical interest in a body model obviously destined to remain a unique example lay in the patented device that transformed it from open to closed and vice versa. The metal roof disappeared entirely by overturning behind the seats thanks to a simple but ingenious mechanical device: in fact, to avoid unnecessary clutter and tedious complications, no servo control was deliberately used. The transformation from coupé to spider and vice versa was carried out by sitting comfortably, without particular effort and in the fastest way.
