We have adopted the knob of leather and a large interior, with the speedometer and counter located in the traditional position at the wheel and "like" The graphics, for that very reason. "
If the equipment is a classic style, content, instead of filling the available technology. All buttons and lights are LCD screens, consoles and touch-screen infotainment to the center of the dashboard, set in a transparent structure, a structure that creates bare.
