Lancia Sibilo concept (1978)

Bertone's aerodynamic, Stratos-based wedge with flush polycarbonate glazing
Built by Bertone on a Lancia Stratos base with a lengthened 2,280 mm wheelbase, the Sibilo was a study in aerodynamics and integration - its sharply raked body used flush polycarbonate windows blended into the panels, with only a small electrically opening circular section. It kept the Stratos's mid-mounted 2.4-litre Dino V6 and an anatomically shaped steering wheel housing the switchgear.
