Key weight-saving features are full composite bodywork, seats integrated into the chassis, and rolling gear supplied by BBS.

Thanks to a power to weight ratio of 5.1 lbs per hp the 0-100 km/h sprint takes 4 seconds and the top speed is 175mph. The target price is $85,000.

The design, characterized by short overhangs and a long wheelbase, was created by Turkish Emre Husmen with the goal of offering a "vision of a sportscar for the year 2035".
