The transformable or 'trasformabile' in Italian, is a convertible roof that folds all the way down to the engine bay. This particular options is highly desirable amongst collectors.

These super compressed cylinders and pistons give an output of 540cc and sufficient power to keep up with modern day traffic. The larger pistons are internal and no modification of the monobloc was required. This additional power makes the car a pleasure to drive.
