The name of the concept was taken from the founder Giovanni Bertone’s son, who took over the company and separated it into two divisions – one division of the company was focused on building vehicles while the other was focused on designing them for clients.

Giuseppe ‘Nuccio’ Bertone died in 1997.

Following three teasers that Pininfarina released last month, the company has now dropped a video teaser before the Cambiano’s Geneva debut.

Following the unauthorized Juke-R concept that was slyly crafted by Nissan UK, Fox Marketing comments “”When we first saw the Nissan Juke-R that Nissan UK built, we were blown away. But, to build a vehicle like the Juke-R you are talking a seven figure build budget.”

So to solve the cash shortage issue, Fox still used the inspiration to fuel a power upgrade that kicks 400hp out of the 1.6-liter engine with addition of a massive turbo and intercooler.

Color is what truly makes the model stand out, as it has been wrapped in chrome green color. Green shades tend to be reminiscent of unpleasant things if they aren’t picked right (ex. Boogers and mold), but Re-Style selected a bright, candy shade that’s defiantly loud, but not at all hard to look at. The car was first wrapped in chrome, and then given the translucent green wrap over top to achieve the effect.
