Italian design house Bertone was in full swing in the early ’80s. Since the name was so popular in America, Bertone wanted to present something that was based on a famous US model, and what better than the Corvette? The Corvette C4 was all-new for 1984, and Bertone used the opportunity to show its version (via Motor1).

Called the Bertone Ramarro, it was an angular and strange-looking sports car with several unique features. It was a standard C4 with the same 5.7-liter TPI V8 engine but with a completely new exterior, interior, and unique wheels. The best design feature was the special sliding doors which proved practical but complicated to put in serial production.
