The upholstery of the seats is partly done with polyester thread which has been made from 100 per cent recycled materials along with using Alcantara as well. The floor mats are made with Pinatex textile material in a carbon weave pattern. The fibres on the floor mats have been extracted from Pineapple trees. The other interesting aspect on the car is the Xirallic crystal sparkle effect. It gives a nice blue hue to the overall white colour on the exterior. Also, the paint has organic compounds as constituents which reflect heat and thereby reducing the temperature inside the cabin. The exterior also gets a few black carbon bits such as the radiator grille, spoilers at the front and rear, mirrors, air inlets and outlets and the diffuser at the rear.
