The cabin is equipped with 18-inch adaptive sport seats for the front passengers, a sport rear seat system, and a multifunction sports steering wheel with a top center marking in racing yellow.
Turbo GT badge
Other Turbo GT bits in the interior include ‘Turbo GT’ badges on the headrest on both the front and rear seats, neodyme seat belts which complement the design of the GT design wheels, and a rev counter in Turbo GT design.

It comes with Apple CarPlay, and allows the integration of Apple Music and Apple Podcasts.
