It stood out of the crowd with a longer wheelbase, while a pointed open mouth front end and a fastback tail brought a decent aerodynamic coefficient. Beneath the curved hood rests a short-block 4 liter V12 engine, nicknamed „Colombo”. It is fueled by 6 carburetors and delivers power to the wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission.
