Although edgy, but yet styled pleasing. For a family car quite tolerable. The first P7 had a hip bend, which just will be straightened again after nearly a year of construction. Also the form of the bumpers is modified so that they continue in the flashing indicators. It was the new 'line of rationality'. Nevertheless, before the classic car fans discover love with this car, will be carried off an astonishing numbers. Perhaps the shown above specimen has survived because of particularly good care. It's also a 'RS' with more powerful and more durable engine and upper class feeling.
