It is mounted on 19″ and 20″ light-alloy wheels wrapped in 265/35R19 front and 325/30R20 rear tires.

The car is finished in Palladium Silver, well maintained and in good condition with only 835 miles on the odometer. It is equipped with panels made of plastic reinforced with carbon fibers, fixed roof instead of the convertible hard-top, retractable spoiler made of carbon fibers, suspension fettled by motorsport, AMG aluminum rims. It has a steering wheel on the left side. Adding to the overall appeal is the stunning Black Nappa leather and Alcantara interior.
