Facts about the Classic car

Versatility needs speed. That’s why the Classic Car offers a maximum load
capacity of 850 litres. With room for two golf bags and cases. It delivers V Twin
Turbo at 370 hp and a fuel consumption ranging from 12.2 to 20.5

Exterior advantages of the Classic Car

The exterior of the Classic Car combines the dynamic road-hugging focus of
a coupe, delivering comfort in flat free tires, speed by its aerodynamics,
handling by its new light weight material and visual perfection with Xenon
lights and a beautiful air intake and reduced fuel.
