01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Bertone Freeclimber 2 is a compact and versatile off-road vehicle that emerged from the collaboration between Daihatsu and BMW, following the success of the original Freeclimber. With a length of under 3.8 meters, the Freeclimber 2 is designed to be agile, powerful, and easy to handle, offering an ideal balance of performance and maneuverability. Its graceful lines and attention to detail set it apart from other off-road vehicles, adding a level of sophistication and refinement to its rugged exterior. The Freeclimber 2 was designed with a clear objective: to meet the demands of customers seeking a practical off-roader that could serve as both a daily driver and a capable vehicle for outdoor adventures. It caters to the emerging market segment of urban customers who view off-roaders as an alternative to traditional cars, able to navigate city streets with ease while still offering the capability to tackle more challenging terrains when needed. Produced between 1992 and 1993, with only 2,860 units made, the Bertone Freeclimber 2 remains a unique offering in the off-road market, blending practicality with distinctive styling. Whether navigating tight city streets or exploring the great outdoors, the Freeclimber 2 stands as a testament to Bertone’s ability to craft vehicles that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.
