Despite the old school mojo, the car is fully-modern as it has an aluminum chassis, a composite body, Brembo brakes and OZ Racing wheels with Pirelli PZero Corsa tires.

Power comes from a supercharged 7.0-liter V8 engine with 720 PS (530 kW / 710 hp) and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a six-speed manual transmission which enables the 1,180 kg (2,600 lb) supercar to run from 0-100 km/h in three seconds and hit a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph).

While the vehicle is technically a one-off, SVS will build a production model on demand.
