The car as shown in above photo looks amazing, if some external elements differ from the original that they are so well matched that practically can not see. It's enough when it comes to shape, not too much dwell on what happened, every fan knows the automotive industry this figure. As regards the material of the components are made in large part this is a glass fiber by the application of which reduced the weight of the car.

Quite different is for a chassis. Added modern braking systems, steering, suspension, and of course the engine! Under the hood, you have two engines. Weaker, naturally aspirated power, will have about 545 horsepower, more powerful turbo will be different, its strength will be around 750 horsepower. Of course, there is no question about engines other than the classic, fine-sounding V8 :)

The interior looks as beautiful as interior trim, steering wheel looks very stylish, with wooden trim and steel (aluminum?) Shoulders. The entire dashboard is made of aluminum, are also beautifully blended into the large and legible clocks. I must admit that the gear lever also looks originally. Chairs are trimmed with leather and the driver and the passenger must be restrained before starting the engine 5-point safety belts. They provide high security, but for everyday use, rather, are not comfortable, you need to acquire practice in their fasten ;)
