Venetian Green and
Flamingo Rose
The Bertone Runabout has always been more than a car. It is a design object shaped by clarity, emotion and movement. Born from one of the most radical ideas in Bertone history, the 2026 Runabout carries forward Bertone’s contemporary coachbuilt sculptural vision: pure in geometry, open in spirit, and deeply connected to the pleasure of driving en plein air.
This purity gives the Runabout its greatest artistic strength. It becomes a canvas for identity.
At Bertone Centro Stile, customization is part of the design act itself. Color, material, contrast, texture, stitching, beltline, cockpit finish and exterior composition are instruments through which a car becomes personal. Through the Bertone customization program, each client can shape the Runabout beyond a conventional configuration, creating a car that retains Bertone DNA while becoming deeply individual.
This is where the collaboration with Riocam begins.
Riocam has always understood that the right car can hold the feeling of a city, the reflection of a sky, the attitude of a night and the memory of a drive. His photography is built around atmosphere, place, desire and visual identity. In his world, cars are not static objects. They become characters inside a lifestyle, absorbing music, fashion, architecture, nightlife, ocean air, heat, skin and reflection.
For Bertone, this made Riocam a natural creative partner.
A lifelong admirer of Bertone, Riocam grew up with the visual mythology of Miami: the colors of the city, the mood of Miami Vice, the light of Ocean Drive, the language of Art Deco, the beach-chic energy of South Florida and the feeling of a place where cars naturally become part of culture.
When invited to bring his Miami vision to the Runabout, the connection was immediate.
The question was simple: what happens when the Runabout’s design purity is placed in the hands of someone capable of translating his city, passions and visual instinct into a car?
The answer is Venetian Green and Flamingo Rose.
Two Limited Edition specifications born from the same Bertone design system, but shaped through two different emotional temperatures.
Venetian Green is the first expression.
Its sea green body takes inspiration from the Venetian Islands of Miami, where the city is broken by water, bridges, villas, palms and open sky. It is a place where architecture and ocean constantly reflect one another, where color feels clean, tropical and precise.
On the Runabout, Venetian Green sharpens the car’s geometry. The sea green surface gives energy to the wedge without disturbing its purity. The white upper body introduces architectural clarity. The white lower section reinforces the nautical base. Chrome details catch the light like polished metal against water.
The result is fresh, graphic and immediate: Venetian Green feels bright without being loud, coastal without becoming decorative. It shows the Runabout as a daylight object: a car shaped by air, water and hard sun.
Sea green. White surfaces. Chrome tension.
It is Riocam’s Miami seen through daylight: the city as reflection, movement and tropical vibe.
Flamingo Rose is the second expression.
Its rose metallic body comes from a different Miami condition: the suspended light that appears when sky and ocean begin to mirror each other while the city turns toward night. The moment is soft, surreal and temporary. Ocean and sky dissolve into pink. The horizon loses its edge. The water holds the color of the sky like a memory.
On the Runabout, Flamingo Rose gives the same geometry a completely different emotional charge.
The rose metallic body follows the fenders, rear deck and side volume with warmth and depth. The green beltline cuts through it with tropical contrast. The white lower body grounds the composition, while chrome elements bring reflection, movement and cinematic tension.
Where Venetian Green is crisp and exposed, Flamingo Rose is warmer, softer and more nocturnal.
It is pink as Miami attitude. Rose metal. Green contrast. White and chrome depth.
Flamingo Rose shows the Runabout after the light has changed. Softer on the surface, sharper in intent. It carries the mood of Miami golden hour, when the city becomes less architectural and more emotional.
Venetian Green and Flamingo Rose remain faithful to the Runabout’s design DNA
the wedge, the nautical beltline, the disciplined surfaces, the open-air cockpit, and the balance between playfulness and precision. Yet each carries a distinct identity shaped by Riocam’s eye and by the cultural landscape that informs his work.
This is the value of true coachbuilt personalization: a dialogue between design house, creator and client.
