The most striking vehicle shown at the show, Bertone's Mantide is the latest bespoke supercar to come out of the Turin-based studios of Bertone, one of Italy's most celebrated design houses. Now helmed by Jason Castriota, formerly of Pininfarina, the Mantide is a dramatically rebodied Corvette that could make production reality, should strictly limited number of well-heeled customers be found
