We have successfully equipped this supercar brand with over 100 years of history with an ‘Internet brain’”, said Ding Lei, co-founder, global vice chairman and China and Asia Pacific CEO of Letv Super Car.
The ideation and engineering of the Aston Martin Rapide S project was led by the Letv IOV team and has focused on a new concept for the center console and instrument panel.
Letv said the center console is now a 13.3 inch HD touch screen and the instrument panel is now a 12.2 inch thin-film transistor (TFT) screen incorporating electronic instrumentation and gauges.
