The most eye catching feature of the car is its doors, they open by rotating backwards, opening full 90 degree upward, the whole side of the car is one door from the front fender to the rear fender.[3]Earlier Bertone has made other similar door designs, like in the 1968Alfa Romeo Caraboand the 1970Lancia Stratos 0.

Its very thin seats are the first to contain integrated illumination[4]due to a new fabric lightbulb.[4][5][6][7]
