The body is finished in Designo Silver Metallic (029U) and features a retractable hardtop that can be seen both raised and lowered. Additional exterior equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, dual exhaust outlets, and folding mirrors.
Five-spoke 18″ wheels are wrapped in 255/40 front and 285/35 rear Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 tires that were installed during prior ownership, and photos of the wheels show curb rash and paint chips. The car is equipped with an Active Body Control (ABC) suspension system and electronic stability control.
The cabin features heated and ventilated multi-contour seats upholstered in Charcoal Nappa leather, and leather upholstery extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panel trim. Amenities include an anthracite Alcantara headliner, dual-zone automatic climate control, burl walnut trim, and COMAND infotainment with Bose premium audio and a CD changer. Wear is visible on the outer bolster of the driver’s seat.
The multi-function steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset data display that shows one malfunction in memory, and auxiliary gauges.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 produced 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque when new, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The selling dealer states an oil change was performed in 2020, and during prior ownership both batteries were replaced.
