Marketing - Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | German term or phrase: modernstes Outfit | Designer xxxx hat modernstes Outfit mit Hightech verbunden.
This is referring to a new type of subway train.
I know the people working on trains can have outfits, but can a train have one too? Is it Denglish for "fittings"/"look"/"appearance" maybe?

| | a brand new look | Explanation:
How I would call it here - the hightech is inside.
Yes, trains can have a new outfit, too. I once had the pleasure to design the new ones for Mannheim/Heidelberg and Rhein-Haardt. It is involved - colors, design, fabrics for seats, materials for interior, floor covering, where each and every number and information is located, endless, yet fun. |

Explanation:
...is what I'd go for here -- although I know some might be disturbed by "designer" and "design" in the same sentence. Yes, I think "Outfit" is used to mean "appearance" here.
