The body showcases a unique bronze-gold-orange colour inspired by the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car, its appearance is streamlined with internally mounted fixtures, avoiding awkward exterior-mounted metal catches for a smoother look. The headlights are upgraded to JW Speaker 'projector' type, while the rear lights are aftermarket units from the Lotus Evora, this all adds to the distinctive design. The car is equipped with cooling vents 'ears' for efficient engine temperature control, complemented by custom alloy wheels—8x17in at the front and a substantial 12x17in at the rear.

Under the bonnet, the power is sourced from an Alfa Romeo ‘Busso’ 3.2 V6 24v. The engine has undergone a complete rebuild with forged components and low-compression pistons. An Eaton M112 supercharger from a Jaguar XJC, along with a custom charge-cooled inlet manifold, contributes to the performance enhancement. The modified Ford Mondeo V6 tensioner and idler assembly, along with a billet mount and bespoke crank pulley all add to a very robust setup, and all done to achieve at least 400bhp at 1bar.

The gearbox is from a Toyota MR2, its imbued with trick Quaife internals, chosen for its strength and ‘end-on’ configuration. The exhaust system is a custom one-off stainless steel by Simpson. It was a demand from the client that the car be fitted with air conditioning, traction control and an ABS braking system, all of which have most likely never been seen in a car of this type.

Inside, the car features a custom-moulded keypad on the driver’s door and a freestanding 9-inch digital dash, The interior design was inspired by the Stratos Zero concept ‘chocolate bar’ style seats with leather and Alcantara fabrics for the seats dash and headliner.

In the audio department, a JD Audio marine head unit is seamlessly integrated with 3-way component speakers. Bass bins and an active 'kicker' sub are strategically placed within the car, all governed by a Live Racing setup, for efficient control over all electronic components.
