There's many good examples of Italian designers getting involved in turning otherwise boring standard cars into something interesting, such as Pinifarina and Peugeot collaborations and most of the Volvo coupes designed by Bertone. Although, Lancia Delta is a nice example of boxy design of it's era and Integrale versions are not boring at all the design of this cabrio version can not be counted on Zagato's master pieces.

From the side it's not the pretties thing. Source: Facebook

Hopefully there was only 2 cabrio Integrale's ever made. Least, other one of the ultimate rare Integrale's was made for special request for the bon vivier, Giovanni Agnelli. Outside of the two door conversion, interesting rear design, and open roof the special version is somewhat standard Delta Integrale EVO. Except the fact that the guy was handicap of the 'avvocato' and therefore the car is equipped with an automatic clutch! Apart from the sacrilege of equiping Integrale with the automatic clutch and ruined design this version must be one of the most desirable of many special edition Integrales existing. Next time you go to Torino check the car out in one of the coolest car collections of  Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile. Additionally, if you fancy have one of your own contact il Cavallino they have produces some replicas.
