armb"a re-elaboration of the Solex 3800 in a modern and environmentally-friendly key"
http://www.pininfarina.it/eng/press/comunicato.php?com=171
I can understand roller drive on an add-on kit, but why on earth use it on a new integrated product? I suppose it's a nostalgia thing ("even keeping the silhouette of the legendary moped"). Maybe that lump at the front isn't even really the motor. Clearly the next step is to undo the acoustic bit of the "respect for environment" thing and put speakers simulating the noise of a two-stroke Solex on it.)
