The Sport model comes with some subtle design tweaks that set it apart. These include a broader front, increased camber, a bold front bumper with large vents, and a distinctive grille treatment. Side skirts and a rear bumper with dual twin exhausts add to its sporty look. There's also a wider rear track and other adjustments to enhance performance. These changes in the front are not just for show; they're also practical, addressing the increased cooling needs of the V8 engine and brakes.
Inside the SV, upgraded seats now boast integrated head restraints, accompanied by a redesigned, more compact steering wheel. The addition of an SV button allows for personalized drive modes. Rear seats mirror these changes. While these updates are prominent, the overall interior structure remains largely consistent."
