The awe-inspiring photos didn't stop at the exterior. The interior pics reveal artistry every bit as worthy as the exterior. As one might expect in a premium performance-sedan, heated leather bucket seats, a floor shifter and center-console are in place to inspire.

The dash is a beautiful mixture of old-world craftsmanship and modern perfection. Craftsmanship emanates from the analogue gauge cluster comprised of two large circular dial type gauges, one measuring speed and the other rpm. These units are ringed by chrome bezels. Their white backgrounds exhibit a jewelry-like quality. Each larger gauge is flanked by a smaller matching gauge displaying either fuel or temperature readings.

As with many premium interiors, brushed metallic trim, chrome and wood burl highlight the dash, center stack, center console and door panels. A touch of elegance is conveyed with the inclusion of tortoise shell accents on the steering wheel rim, shift knob and door pulls (if the driver doesn't have class, at least his car will).

Additional interior amenities include a tilt-telescoping, leather-wrapped steering wheel housing flush mounted audio and trip computer controls. The interior temperature is managed by an automatic climate control system.
