The twin-turbocharged 2.5-liter V6 produced 280 horsepower and 272 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is delivered to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The car was fitted with an Exedy clutch kit and a resurfaced flywheel in December 2023, at which time the clutch and brake fluid reservoirs were cleaned and the timing belt, water pump, crankshaft seal, camshaft seals, camshaft plug seals, spark plug tube seals, and valve cover gaskets were replaced. An AEM 340-lph fuel pump was installed in February 2025 along with a Walbro fuel sock and a replacement fuel filter, ignition coils, ignition wires, spark plugs, and various seals. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
