The interior is neatly wrapped using Nappa leather for seats, dashboards, roof lining and door panels. Lister said that only 99 units will be produced and will be marketed starting at the price of $200,000 or Rp.2.68 billion.

Strangely, out of 99 Lister Thunder owners, none of the cars were produced exactly the same as each other. Because, to have one unit of Lister Thunder, the costumer must be doing regular contact with the manufacturer to determine the car's specification to be ordered to fit a price that has been agreed previously.

This is the reason why the car produced will be different from each other. Are you interested in having it? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARBUZZ | MOTORING RESEARCH | MYAUTOWORLD]
