Broken Dreams: Lamborghini Athon. Plein soleil

Nuccio Bertone was very worried about the fate of his important relationship with Lamborghini during the second half of the 70s, after Ferruccio’s departure from the company and the Emilian manufacturer on the verge of bankruptcy. The arrival of a buyer, the powerful French family Mimran, spurred him into proposing his services as a great creator of sports cars to the future Lamborghini. The year was 1980, the new management had just begun and in April, at the Turin Motor Show, an extremely innovative concept both in shape and technologies was presented. Its name was Athon.
