The body and aerodynamics have been transformed wîth the A.R.T. G streetline Wide Body Kit. Incorporated into the redesigned front bumper is an additional lighting system in the shape of a triple beam xenon headlamp set and a chrome-covered LED multifunctional lamp providing daytime illumination and turning signal. A modified aero hood, form-optimizing running board trim, fender extensions including LED running board lighting, a rear bumper wîth integrated LED rear lights, a roof spoiler wîth LED brake light and illuminated entry ledges on all five doors wîth the A.R.T. logo together contribute to the all-round harmonious design of the A.R.T.
