RCH 550

EXCLUSIVITY that reflects in every detail!

Reviving the legend and the same time we give it the necessary attention in order to meet modern requirements!

Another oddity in Greece but also in Europe, is the construction of RCH 550 from RCH. Automotive legends in the 50s was identified with memorable Hollywood actor James Dean thanks to successive successes in car races with that

The materials used inside are of high quality and have been chosen with ultimate care and detail. The cab has been inspired by motor racing, with sport bucket seats and aluminum metal surfaces "for demanding customers."

The driver sees and touches materials that highlight the handmade nature of RCH 550.
