The Bertone Ramarro is an Italian concept car designed and built by Bertone and based on the Chevrolet Corvette (C4). It debuted in 1984 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The name “ramarro” comes from the Italian word for “green lizard”.

I feel like this design was way ahead of it’s time. It looks futuristic even now, 40 years later. It’s a shame that it remains just a concept.

    I feel like this influenced one or two of the cars in Cyberpunk.

    For reference, the Cyberpunk board game came out in 1989. I’m not just talking about the 2020 video game, hence leaving off the 2077 part — the OG was Cyberpunk 2013 and there was also Cyberpunk Red. The 2020 game is very faithful to the designs from 1989.

    Oh, and loads of Cyberpunk cars had doors that opened non-traditionally, too. But I meant the body shape of this car.

      That’s what I’ve been thinking as well. It definitely fits the theme and “technical” design language.
