That means something like a Rolls Royce Phantom costs £650k and a Porsche 911 starts at £150k.

Graphically this is most evident around the Ener-G-Force’s DRG with its dark mask incorporating deep-set lamps (here with ‘G’ lamp graphics), a surprisingly traditional Mercedes grille and characteristic fender-top turn signals.
