Bertone Genesis

The Bertone Genesis, also called the Lamborghini Genesis, is a concept car designed by Bertone around Lamborghini parts and first shown at the 1988 Turin Auto Show. It is a five-door minivan with gull-wing front doors and sliding rear doors. Power comes from the 5.2 litre V12 of the Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole, rated at 455 horsepower or 339 kilowatts, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic gearbox. The car weighs about 1,800 kilograms and was much slower than the Countach. It seats five, with two front bucket seats over the engine and three rear seats in a V arrangement, one of which can swivel to face backwards. It was never meant to go beyond a show car design study.
