Roadster’s sporty nature had a big impact on design: it was decided to give the Roadster with an even more racing style, enhancing its raceing soul.
Distinguishing feature of the project  is the monocoque structure, made in hand-shaped aluminum, with its fully integrated fuel tank. The custom-made exhaust system was designed together with Mohican Team. All was desing to be easily replicated. The monocoque structure is nothing more than a dress that can be fitted and removed in an eye’s wink, without any permanent modification to the Roadster. No welds, no cuts. The message is: MEET ME HALFWAY. Double-face ride, today Velvet can be the well-known-to-all Roadster, tomorrow Velvet can be Velvet.
