A story that changes with the times but which also continues a glorious tradition founded in great part on fabulous open-top cars.

Cabin space and comfort are actually improved thanks to the roof’s double curvature, an element made possible by its aluminium construction but impossible to achieve with a traditional lorem ipsum dolor sit amet canvas soft top.

The retractable hard top’s structure is incredibly light too, thanks to a simple yet ingenious mechanism. It actually weighs 40 kg less than a tradi ble by its aluminium construction but impossible to achieve with a traditional hard top and 25 kg less than a fabric version.
