THE INTERIOR

-

Instead of the garish bells ’n’ whistles that you might expect from an automotive pinnacle! the interior is quite subtle! despite "# colours for the leather and eight for the Alcantara elements$ The illuminate­d %and dimmable& C'bar in the interior is the longest light conductor in any car! anywhere! and is machined from a single piece of aluminium$ The steering wheel has two multi' function buttons on the inner rim for dealing with telephony and driving modes! as well as an extra button at the bottom for Launch Control$ This is TG’s favourite button$

The instrument cluster consists of a triplet of TFT displays nestled around an analogue speedo! and the density of informatio­n dissipates the faster you drive$ The centre console is a work of art! too$ It’s narrow and elegant! a kind of slim buttress with the gear selector to hand at the bottom! and four rotary switches protruding above$ These switches are primarily for aircon! seat heating and blowers! but they’re also programmab­le! allowing for the monitoring of performanc­e data and the definition of different functions! including four driving modes) Icon! Performanc­e! Cruise and Classic$
