A Tour of Concorso Italiano 2012 [Photo Gallery, 2012 Pebble Beach]

One of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance's oldest sideshows, the Concorso Italiano, completed its 27th edition with the usual gathering of Latin bombshells, plus a tribute to the works of Turin coachbuilder Bertone, in all its glorious and, with credit to the show, not as glorious aspects. Lined up in the center ring with the various concept prototypes were the several Lamborghinis that Bertone produced, the concept Fiats and Alfa Romeos, plus were a few workaday cars that Bertone put its stamp on for the sake of earning some extra lire for the corporate coffers. Thus, Concorso produced a display that was a surprisingly good cross-section of vehicles from a company that, like everybody else, sometimes had to hustle for a buck. Fiat also used the occasion to reveal the new 500T, a turbocharged 135-hp 500 that slots between the 101-hp Sport and the 160-hp Abarth. Prosciutto was consumed, Chiantis were uncorked, and the weather was fantastic. Forza Italia! Read full story » from Car and Driver Blog http://blog.caranddriver.com
