  • The Bertone Pirana (or Jaguar Pirana) is a concept car created by Bertone for the 1967 London Motor Show at Earl's Court. The sleek GT car was based on the chassis and powertrain of the 4.2 litre Jaguar E-type, with a unique steel semi-monocoque body and luxurious interior. It was officially named "Pirana," not "Piranha" as some sources describe, although the badge on the rear of the car reads Piranha. This spelling was reportedly an aesthetic choice. The Pirana was designed by Marcello Gandini, perhaps best known for styling the Lamborghini Countach. Unusually for a show car, the Pirana was commissioned by The Daily Telegraph, a leading British daily newspaper, as an example of an "ideal car." Sir William Lyons was contacted beforehand about the project and agreed to sell Bertone the Jaguar engine and chassis. The car was originally registered "TGF 1F". After a successful showing at the London Motor show, the Pirana was subsequently exhibited at the New York car show and then at the British Motor Show in Montreal. The car was later converted to a 2+2 seater arrangement and the transmission changed from manual to automatic. The space for the plus 2 seats being made by moving the air conditioning unit to the rear luggage space. The Pirana, along with the Lamborghini Marzal, influenced Gandini's design of the Lamborghini Espada. The Espada was introduced in 1968, one year after the Pirana. The wooden body buck built for the Pirana was used in the construction of an early Espada prototype. (en)
  • El Bertone Pirana o Jaguar Pirana (no "Piranha", como algunas fuentes mencionan) fue un prototipo de automóvil creado por Bertone para el de 1967 en el centro de exhibiciones de Earl's Court. El elegante GT 2+2 estaba basado en el chasis y la cadena cinemática del Jaguar E-Type 4.2 l, pero se cambió la carrocería por una monocasco de acero con interiores de lujo. El Pirana fue diseñado por Marcello Gandini, quizás más conocido por ser el diseñador del Lamborghini Countach. Inusualmente para un coche de demostración, el Pirana fue comisionado como un ardid publicitario por el Daily Telegraph, uno de los principales diarios británicos, como un ejemplo de "automóvil ideal". Después de una actuación exitosa en el Salón del Automóvil de Londres, el Pirana se expuso posteriormente en el Salón del Automóvil de Nueva York y luego en el Salón del Motor británico en Montreal.Algunos comentaristas afirman que el Pirana inspiró el Lamborghini Espada, que Lamborghini produjo un año después.
