It rides on the WTCC front and rear suspension with stabilizer, KW 3-way adjustable coilovers, and stops with ceramic brakes.
Power, of course, comes from the S65B40, built to 540 HP / 9,500RPM and sent through a Drenth Motorsport DG500 6-speed sequential gearbox.

Enjoy.

Amazing car! Amazing driving skills! I wonder how much it would convert our "regular" S65 to a 4.0L 540hp beast?
