Sadly I haven't driven the new car anywhere, let alone Tuscany, but from the looks and details I have read, I am sure the S1 Speedster Open-Air will be whipped up by enthusiasts who love Italian sports cars that can be driven how they are meant to be. The creations from ARES are pieces of automotive art to be enjoyed by being used and not remaining static in a garage containing many other vehicles.
The S1 Speedster features a wraparound, streamlined windscreen showing an evolution from the S1 Spyder, and with gorgeous harmonised lines, it blends with the strong lines of the Carbon Fibre body. The cockpit is entirely enveloped by glass surfaces, which connect in a single, ideal line with the rear engine bonnet above the headrests. The windshield plays a vital part in allowing the occupants open-air driving without the hassle of buffeting and noise, so you get a comfortable palpable experience on every journey.
The launch of the new S1 Speedster allows ARES Modena's Centro Stile to introduce some essential design updates to the S1 Project coupe. The alterations are as aesthetic as they are functional, dictated by the search for the best compromise between style, aerodynamic efficiency and safety. The most significant modifications at the front, wholly revamped headlight units, have been introduced while maintaining the sleek volumes and curved shapes. These units now have a horizontal layout and use full LEDs with a characteristic cross motif, a reference to the heraldic coat of arms of the city of Modena, the birthplace of ARES. Above the main body of the headlights, delicate Daylight Running Lights DRLs give impetus to the design of the S1 Project and integrate the indicators.
