This is the the most handsome loco of IR. I hope other los will also be redesigned like this as it sports comfortable bucket seats as well!

Well, as part of the team which worked on the design and validation of P7, these comments are very encouraging. They are not designed for real high speeds, something which only P5 can do (P5 can work up to 225 kmph!)
