After narrowly escaping bankruptcy in 2011, Bertone continues to face major financial setbacks. In fact, the famous design studio could indeed go bankrupt this time around.
Despite more than €20 million in revenue last year (mostly from China), several employees and suppliers are still waiting to be paid.
Autocar reports that Bertone, which recently fired 160 workers, is facing a number of lawsuits from creditors.
Former design chief Michael Robinson resigned in December, leaving Bertone out in the cold.
All hope is not lost, however: A Turkish company is reportedly willing to purchase Bertone for €2.7 million. Seven other firms from Italy have shown interest, too.
