Well, here’s a small-car
novelty item – a folding roof pickup, based on Fiat’s Grande Punto. The new concept car is the brainchild of Italian
design house Fioravanti, and features the company’s unique folding roof
technology.
Fioravanti’s roof technology first saw production in last year’s Ferrari Superamerica (see photo
after the jump). The lightweight carbon fiber-based roof is said to be much less bulky and cumbersome than the
multi-part roofs on the first-generation coupe-cabriolets hitting showrooms this year.
In the Grande Punto
prototype shown above, the roof is augmented by a folding tailgate that transforms the car into a mini-pickup.
