Gordini has teamed up with Gibson to produce a one-off show car and an equally unique ‘Gordini by Gibson’ electric guitar. Wind ‘Gordini by Gibson’ is a two-part harmony based on the two brands’ respective styling cues. Unsurprisingly, Wind ‘Gordini by Gibson’ features a blue livery with two white stripes, yet the colours and materials it employs also explore one or two other ideas. In addition to the two hallmark white stripes which extend over the bonnet and blue roof, hints of gloss black feature across the bodywork, while Gibson logos are visible on the doors. An original attraction of the show car’s blue and white leather upholstery is the incorporation of genuine guitar strings which have been hand-sewn into the leather seats. Meanwhile, embroidered Gibson logos feature on the seat backs and blue leather-trimmed dashboard, while the seat belt straps are white and chrome has been used for the air vents and door handles. Last but not least, the guitar potentiometer knob used for the audio system’s volume control adds a ‘fun’ touch to the intrinsically switched-on and off-beat Wind ‘Gordini by Gibson’ show car.
