Supporting the weight of those hefty gullwing doors when open were a pair of long transverse springs at the rear of the engine bay operated by a pulley and shaft system which relied in part on cleverly-recycled steering column components. The concept was designed to use a small 5.0 liter V12 engine with two turbochargers and feature direct injection technology.
       

   


The interior was highly futuristic, wîth a hexagonal honeycomb theme on the dashboard and centre console housing most instruments and controls. The hexagon theme was carried over even in the general shape of the seat's cushions and backrests, whilst their trim literally stood out wîth a highly reflective finish.
