The car is powered by a turbocharged 3.0 L Toyota 2JZ-GTE VVTi inline-six capable of 826 hp (607 kW). Widmer Motor built the engine with Wiseco forged pistons, Eagle H-beam rods, ported head, GSC S2 billet camshafts, and GSC valves and springs. A custom stainless steel exhaust manifolds spins up a Precision 6870 Gen 2 turbocharger.

The motor runs on E100 fuel held in a custom 40-liter cell. Two in-tank Walbro GST-535 pumps push the fuel to a custom rail with Bosch 2200 cc injectors. Everything is controlled by a MaxxECU on a custom wiring harness.

Behind the motor is a OS Given 3-plate clutch connected to a Sellholm MPG five-speed sequential transmission. A custom two-piece driveshaft transfers power to a modified Volvo 1031 rear end with a custom Sellholm 2-way differential and Sellholm 31-spline axles.

The car rides on a TXR Performance front suspension with Volvo 940 spindles, 
BC Racing adjustable coilovers, and Sellholm rallycross steering rack. Pål upgraded the front brakes to Volvo V70R Brembo 4-piston calipers with 330 mm rotors. The rear suspension features a custom 4-link and Watt’s link with custom Proflex 3-way ajustable coilovers.

All of the body panels on the car are composite. The front hood, bumper, fenders, and doors are made from fiberglass. The rear quarter-panels and trunk lid are made from carbon-kevlar. Under each arch is a 59 North D-004 wheel (17×8.5, 18×9.5).
