Alfa Romeo Carabo

Alfa Romeo Carabo model made by Solido with Ref.: 1816

The concept car was shown in October 1968, at Porte de Versailles in Paris, to a stunned crowd. The Alfa Romeo Carabo was a milestone in Supercar design, "Carabo," meaning beetle.
Designed by Marcello Gandinni for Bertone. The Lamborghini Miura, also previously designed by Gandini, had suffered from front-end lift at high speeds, so the Carabo was an exercise in focusing on an aerodynamic solution. The car also featured upward hinging doors, which later inspired the Lamborghini Countach.
It was built on the Chassis of the mid-engined V8 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 with a V8cyl DOHC 1995cc 230hp at 8800rpm 148ft.lb at 7000rpm Spika Fuel Injection 250km/h 0 to 100=6.4sec 6speed gearbox 990kg.

Bertone Shake

Bertone Shake model made by Solido with Ref.: 189
Presented at the 1970 Paris Motor Show. A Bertone styling exercise done in collaboration with Chrysler France which was what Simca was called by then.
The Bertone Shake was built on a SIMCA 1200 S chassis, the same one used for the coupé created by the Turin designer for the French manufacturer. Simca 1200 S chassis was therefore adapted to include some stylistic elements used in a previous design (the 1969 Runabout). Mechanics also based on Simca 1200S - 4cyl 1204cc 84hp Twin-Choke carburetor.
