Click above to see more of the Bertone BAT 11 concept
Bertone's future continues to hang in the balance as three court-appointed bankruptcy commissioners move forward with trying to secure a new owner for the 96-year-old design house and coachbuilder. The commissioners have just presented a 132-page initial report to the court outlining their findings, but while sources suggest that as many as seven potential buyers have stepped forward, the commissioners have thus far only met with the lawyers and bankers representing those companies.
While the courts try to determine the carrozzeria's fate, a selection of crude images have surfaced of the BAT 11 design study that Bertone unveiled in Geneva at a location away from the motor show. Check them out in the gallery below.

I wish I had the money to blow on Bertone.
My first order of business? A new Volvo Coupe!
Think 780 and no so much 260.

I'm sorry, but compared to the B.A.T. designs of years past this thing is a wretched and marred reflection.
Its all angles and edges instead of voluptous curves and sweeping lines.
Yuck.

I think it looks great. Not everything has to have "voluptuous" curves. The new design concept here makes it look much more futuristic. Wasn't that what people thought when the first BAT came out? I think thats something they were trying to achieve, not just out right gorgeousness.

I'm still not a fan. The more times I see it, the more I get turned off by it. Espeically the fender treatment covering the wheels, that really bothers me.
