Mr Castriota showed his latest creation at the Shanghai auto show earlier this month. Teaser images have been appearing on the company’s Web site and will track the car on the show circuit.
Mr. Castriota chose the Corvette for the Mantide as an intentional gesture of support for General Motors in its time of crisis, although Bertone’s financial hopes are more closely tied to working for the Chinese industry than the American one. The Mantide’s price tag? Just shy of $2 million.
