This is the first project of the Bertone-Citroën cooperation. It will last for three decades, with 4 mass production models and another prototype in 1986 : the Zabrus (also in this BERTONE album).
This 2+2 coupé is based on the Citroën GS and keeps all its technical aspects :
1055cc flat 4 air cooled engine.
55 PS DIN.
Hydraulic suspension.
Brakes and steering are also taken from the GS.
Inside, it also keeps the major part of the dashboard. The length is identical to the GS, but the Camargue is wider and lower.
The body was designed by Marcello Gandini.
Built on a large cliff overlooking the sea, the colourful homes of Manarola are particularly picturesque.
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations. Mostly all of the houses are bright and colourful.

1973 was the year of the first Bertone designed Ferrari : the 308 GT4. To remain up to date and stick to the oil crisis, Bertone suggests this "cheap" model as an entry to the range. There was no real plan to put it into production.
But this Rainbow announces the design of the 1980s. The roof can be removed offering a Targa body.
