“Design comes from inspiration and a recognized heritage is a perfect input. This gave us a clear direction that has been projected forward thanks to the creativity of a passionate team”, indicates Dario Lauriola, in charge of exterior design.

So far there is no known date for it to go on sale. However, the newspaper El Tiempo reports that it will be released to the public on August 18 and, although details of its value are not known, it is estimated to be between 150,000 and 175,000 dollars.
