The engine setup includes twin KKK turbochargers, side-mounted intercoolers, a MoTeC engine management system, and a center-exit exhaust system, delivering a formidable performance rated at 1,000 PS in Evolution trim. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential.

The car rides on Koni shocks with H&R springs and features AP Racing disc brakes for superior handling and stopping power. The 17-inch multi-piece alloy wheels with gold centers are shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires at the front and Pirelli P-Zero Asimmetrico tires at the rear.
