ICONIC FLAGSHIP DESIGN

LUXURY SEDAN WITH COUPÉ ELEGANCE

From first glance at its seductive coupé-like profile, you sense this is no everyday car. It starts with the exterior. Creating a flagship sedan with a dynamic presence pushed our designers to the limit. So, too, did the intricate details. The signature grille alone, with its 5,000 individual surfaces, took months to perfect.
