2001 Bertone Filo

From always, to be based in automobile means to adapt the position of the legs and the arms in function of the fundamental controls, the pedals and flying. The true one comfort, instead, is born above all from the possibility to change position. From this idea the BERTONE is born concept car THREAD.
The technology "to drive-by-wire" of THREAD, putting to point in collaboration with SKF, has rendered a radical ripensamento of the interface man-machine and the inner architecture of the car possible. Nothing more pedals, therefore: steering, accelerator, brakes, change and clutch, all are controlled "to by-wire", via cable. And to inner STYLE BERTONE it has created a free space of life from accustoms them limits to the movement and position freedom.


THREAD is much more than an innovative prototype. THREAD is a philosophy, the search of a new language, a ragnatela of nerves that carry a new visual contact, tactile and acoustic, improving the quality of the life to edge.

The meccatronica, that is the combination of dispositi mechanics to you managed from an intelligent electronic control, is the THREAD heart. It is this technology that concurs the redefinition of the ambient inside, concurring a radical rivisitazione of as the customer interacts with the car and the external atmosphere.
The BERTONE THREAD represents one vision of the future. Not the future far away, but an advance of that could be available in the cars of next generation. THREAD is not limited to be a style exercise. It is one proposed completed in order to think the automobile in organic way, like an active system that interacts with the man and its atmosphere.
