The R231's interior, naked. Note the location of the FrontBass subwoofers in the firewall and the aluminum castings that run alongside the extruded tunnel. Oh, and the rear cast longitudinal members, or suspension carriers. Art, no?

The SL550's aluminum hood. The drilled and pressed holes are to reduce weight and stop vibration.
