Although exact figures are not given, the car can expect a power density of around 1 kg/hp. The automaker also adds that the car has more downforce than the Porsche GT3 RS. So, we are talking about a load of over 860 kg.

The battery has been placed behind the seats to replicate the driving experience of mid-engined sports cars.
