These JTP cars are not only performance oriented under the hood but also provide the customers with a dynamic sporty look. There are some go fast bits on the outside with new front end design with large grill, smoked projector headlamps, bonnet and fender vents, 15” diamond cut alloy wheels and side skirts. Building on the sporty interior design, the all black interiors with sporty accents on AC vents, premium leather-wrapped steering with contrast red stitching and performance aluminium pedals provide the inmates with sporty yet luxurious feel.
