Sporty amphibian
At the Brussels Motor Show in January 1972, Bertone presented the design known as GO. This was a prototype for a hybrid between a pick-up and leisure vehicle. The design was reworked in a more sporty key on the BMW Pickster in 1998. The plastic bodywork was barchetta-style, while the light side lines give the vehicle a linear look. The engine, a three-cylinder Suzuki motorcycle engine, was mounted along the left side, leaving room on the right for the radiator.


Finished in crisp green with highly polished wheel trims. This low-level fun car was supposed to take your skis, boots, mountain bikes and even a snowmobile to the edge of the action, and then back to the chalet for a much-needed gluwein as the sun went down. Over the driver's shoulder was a three-cylinder Suzuki 750 motorbike engine with Bertone's own chain-driven gearbox boasting five forward and five reverse ratios. Over the passenger's shoulder, the radiator and a luggage box. There were no doors or windscreen, but you could lower a ramp at the back to unload your snowmobile, using pulleys driven by the steering wheel. Prefer the water? No problem: just attach an outboard to the back to turn the Go into a boat.


Bertone show the latest idea in Beach Buggies — the Go, which is a small truck on tracked tyres, specially equipped for transporting a trials motorcycle. There are two slat-type seats at the front, and a wind-up windscreen.


Want to tow your motorcycle to the back country? This Italian Bertone vehicle does it. The tailgate becomes a ramp. Want to take a spin on the lake? Clamp an outboard to the rear door and take off. A three-cylinder Suzuki engine is built into the left side. Radiator is on the right.
