But what is harmony? and curves in all the right places. powerful mid-engined sports car or a Something quaint? Something soft pure-bred roadster – it does full justice and delicate? Not for us. The spirit of the pure-bred roadster is to its famous predecessors, such as very much alive and kicking. More the 356/1 or the 550 Spyder. This is why we have refined our idea independent than ever before, it is even of what a roadster should be and honed more powerful, visceral and intense. and sharpened it to give it a completely new expression.
