Each of the 75 examples, which represent Rafael Nadal’s 75 singles titles, will be available in Panthera Metal, Deep Chroma Blue or Aurora Black Pearl.
 
Selecting the Picanto AO edition sees the GT-Line styling with contrasting body accents, dual exhaust tips and body kit.
 
Making it special will be 16-inch alloys, GT-Line badging, LED position lamps and Daytime Running Lights, premium seats with red accents, premium steering wheel and gear shift knob, alloy sports pedals and six speakers audio.
 
There will be 150 Picanto AO cars available with a choice of Clear White, Aurora Black, Titanium Silver and Signal Red paint. They will also come with an AO pack which contains a Babolat racquet, backpack and a tube of Wilson balls.
