The car’s interior was equally luxurious, featuring fine leather upholstery and exquisite detailing, tailored to Sartorelli’s personal preferences. Every element of the vehicle was meticulously crafted, from the dashboard to the steering wheel, reflecting the highest standards of Italian artisanship.
