About Berlinetta

A berlinetta (from Italian: berlinetta; Italian pronunciation: [berliˈnetta]) is a sports coupé, typically with two seats but also including 2+2 cars. The original meaning for berlinetta in Italian is “little saloon”, derived from the Berlin carriage. Introduced in the 1930s, the term was made popular by Ferrari in the 1950s. Maserati, Opel, Alfa Romeo, Volkswagen, and other European car manufacturers, as well as Chevrolet in the United States, have used berlinetta as model label.
