Webasto - LigHT (Light Hybrid Top) Concept
The Webasto company is well known mainly for the heat devices and independent heating systems for automobiles. But their production is much wider and one of the very important branches is foldable roof systems. In Geneva a concept combining the advantages of soft and hard top was shown.

The construction of this hybrid roof looks unbelieveably simply. It is connected in the only moving place, so it is easy to manipulate only by hands. It is made of polyurethane and polycarbonate, so the total weight is only 14 kg and it is composed in fact only of one part and it is very robust. The advantage of this construction is also low price and space saving, because in the open state it simply lies on the back side of the car. This project was conducted in the cooperation with IED Automotive, which is a professional spin-off of the Italian design school IED (Istituto Europeo di Design). The concept car is to be the representation of classic Italian design school and was styled by Andrea Militelo, Chief Designer of IED Automotive.
