French-born Alain Prost is 54 and a four-time F1 world champion: in 1985, 1986, 1989 and 1993. He has taken part in every edition of the Andros Trophy since 2003-2004, and has won twice.

Carmaker Dacia officials said the SUV will be delivered to the showrooms in Romania starting April 15.

The company officials also said Romania's President Traian Basescu will be Dacia's first client for its new SUV, Dacia Duster.

World Records Academy, an international organization which provides world record certification, has designated Dacia Duster, the world's most affordable SUV.

The World Records Academy cited the Duster's starting price of $16,200 for the 4x2 and $18,390 for the 4x4 specification as the lowest in the world.

Dacia Duster was launched on March 2 at the auto show in Geneva. It may be bought on the Romanian market for prices between EUR10,500 and EUR15,600, including VAT.

France and Germany are the main markets for Dacia, a company owned by the Renault group.
