The matt-grey stretches across the entire vehicle and is traversed from the front to the rear via the extending rear spoiler with a high-contrast, white gloss center stripe.

**3/8**The car has a capacity of 8.0 litres and its W16 engine delivers 1,500 PS and 1,600 Nm of torque. Its maximum speed is electronically limited at 420 km/h.

**4/8**The horseshoe shaped radiator grille sports a black gloss finish and its mesh is made of laser-cut and deep-drawn aluminum, on which the dynamic pattern of the stitched seams is repeated on the leather seats, resembling flying of planes in formation in an air parade.
