To help keep the engine cool, the rear decklid automatically lifts when a preset temperature is reached inside the engine compartment. Up front is a small luggage compartment and a location for mechanicals functioning ABS-brakes etc. The custom fabricated tubular steel frame is formed by hand. Special fabricated stainless steel A-arms for the fully independent front and rear suspension systems with custom carbon-fibre leaf springs.

Braking up front is handled via 6-piston Tarox calipers and 330-mm discs while the rear contains ventilated discs including a special made parking brake system. The front wheels are some 8.5 inches wide and 20 inches in diameter, the rears are a full 10-inches wide and 22 inches in diameter.
