The car is finished in black and is powered by a 3.4-liter M96 flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. Additional features include a black soft top, a black removable hardtop, a deployable rear spoiler, aerodynamic side skirts, rear side fins, modular 18″ Speedline-style wheels, Porsche Stability Management, xenon headlights, power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a Sony head unit.

The car is finished in Black (L741) and was equipped from the factory with aerodynamic side skirts and rear-bumper fins. It is equipped with a color-matched removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top, and additional exterior equipment includes xenon headlights, headlight washers, integrated fog lights, a deployable rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets with polished finishers. The soft-top hydraulic system was overhauled in November 2017. The Carfax report lists an accident involving a parked car in December 2000, and the selling dealer reports that the front bumper cover was refinished as a result.
