The model, approximately 29cm in length, comprises over 145 parts and replicates the panoramic sliding sunroof, LED Intelligent Light System, and multi-spoke alloy wheels. The doors, hood, and trunk open.

The interior also meticulously recreates the First Class appointments of the rear seats. It is available in three body colors: blue, silver, and white, priced at 79.90 euros (approx. 10,000 yen). It includes handling gloves.
