The drivetrain is deliberately analog, tuned to deliver raw, responsive power without the filtration common to contemporary systems. Four-piston brakes offer confident stopping power, while the suspension relies on stock geometry enhanced with Bilstein shocks and bushings. It\u2019s a formula that keeps the connection to the original RSR while supporting predictable road manners.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The car rides on staggered Braid wheels \u2014 11\u00d715 in the rear, 9\u00d715 up front \u2014 wrapped in Michelin TB-15 rubber.

Houndstooth inserts add period texture to leather bucket seats, while leather-wrapped surfaces on the dash, doors, and headliner reflect a restrained approach to materiality. There is no visual noise or aggressive branding, and everything serves the experience of the drive.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Creature comforts are integrated without drawing attention.
