COUPÉ “Gran Turismo” version with tilting rear window with automatic locking system.
CABRIOLET “One-touch” convertible version (hard top available).
Generous bucket seats ensure a warm welcome in a refined and sporty interior: “wood-look” steering wheel, short and precise floor-mounted gear lever, matte-black instrument panel; clearly readable gauges and dials on a dark background. Exceptionally “spacious” also in its standard equipment: heater with three speeds, windshield wipers with two speeds, electric windshield washer, steering lock, lockable glove compartment and fuel cap, passenger grab handle, reversing light, etc.
“Spacious” too when it comes to usable room: an easily accessible luggage compartment offers space for two suitcases and a large bag.
City parking, on the other hand, was not designed to be overly generous: a space of just 3.30 m is sufficient, and the turning circle is minimal at 4.40 m.
Gauges and meters, intelligently and practically arranged on a black background, clearly legible and in no way tiring to the eyes. Steering lock. “Wooden” steering wheel…
