Drawing on its legacy of innovation, Bertone has collaborated with leading companies to infuse the Birusa with cutting-edge technologies. The result is a harmonious fusion of classic allure and futuristic features. Among its highlights are the voice-controlled doors and double sunroof (by Inalfa), the latter constructed from heat-resistant glass (Socar ICS), laminated with a PVB film (Solutia) for enhanced safety and comfort. A state-of-the-art Stereo Sound System by Bose, semiadaptive headlights, and an infrared night-time vision system by Valeo elevate the driving experience to new heights.

One of the Birusa's most intriguing and practical additions is the inclusion of the Segway (HT) as a nifty companion discreetly stowed in the car's boot. This companion serves as the perfect solution for navigating congested city centers or pedestrian areas once the sports car has been parked, granting unparalleled accessibility and convenience.
