These include a large rear wing, air scoop on the roof and a racing hood with dual air intakes. Single nut wheels are fitted with Pirelli tires, with the whole package built on an aluminium front frame and a carbon fibre monocoque.
The hypercar has been designed to offer the highest safety standards, with an innovative self-locking type differential which allows better driveability on the track. Now entering the final stages of its development, the new vehicle is expected to debut mid-year.
