Carbon Fiber

It would be difficult to make this car any lighter when you consider that it's dripping in carbon fiber parts. These components include the splitter, diffuser, rocker extensions, and APR Performance wing.

Brakes

There are four-disc brakes bringing this model to a swift halt and are squeezed by beefy orange calipers. These also match the car's paint scheme quite perfectly.

Wheels

One of the features which stands out the most on this model are it's Z60 Spyder wheels. So, when you view this car from a side angle, it looks just as good as from the front.

Interior

In the cabin you'll find a nice touchscreen for the infotainment system, air conditioning controls with a nice notchy shifter for gear selection. Sport bucket seats with aggressive side bolstering adorned with red-stitched black leather with a 3 point harness belt will hold the driver and passenger in place. For the sake of safety, there is a 6-point roll cage with a chassis that has steel side impact bars built into it.
