Weight-saving features include an adjustable carbon-fibre wing, a plastic engine cover, and a plastic rear window. This example is finished in black with vibrant orange side decals, wing mirrors, and rear spoiler accents. The cabin features the sought-after Factory black bucket seats and an orange half roll cage. It rides on a set of orange 19-inch alloy wheels with yellow callipers, steel brake discs, and recently fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres.
