Au Salon de Paris, en octobre 1968, Bertone dévoile l’extraordinaire Carabo.
   La base mécanique provient de l’Alfa Romeo 33 de compétition.
   La ligne en coin de la Carabo est due à Marcello Gandini, styliste recruté par Nuccio Bertone trois ans auparavant.
   Les vitres de type VHR (verre à haute résistance) ont été réalisées par la société belge Glaverbel.

   In October of 1968, to the Paris Motorshow the Bertone introduced a sporting coupe drawn by Marcello Gandini with base in the chassis and in Alfa Romeo's mechanics 33 Stradale, denominated Carabo, a type of beetle, in Italian.
   Extremely low (only 99 cm!), with profile to wedge, doors as the sheets of a scissors, solution that it would win projection, three years later, in Lamborghini Countach of same Gandini. The two models, in fact, have a notable similarity of style. The front hood and the windshield were almost in a straight line, imposing an enormous glass and a roof of low height.
   Under the back hood it was the central motor, also of 33 Stradale: a compact V8 of 1.995 cm3, with injection of fuel Spica and 230 potency cv to 8.800 rpm, more than enough for their 1.000 weight kg. Bertone published 250 km/h of maxim and 0 to 100 km/h in 6,5 second.
   Projected and built in only 10 weeks, the only copy of Carabo was restored in 1989 by the Alfa Romeo and from the Bertone for then to be exposed Alpha to the Museum Romeo to Arese.
