In the engine bay is a 335 ci (5.4 L) <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rover_V8_engine\">TVR\/Rover V8<\/a> topped with Suzuki GSX-R1000 K2 throttle bodies and flanked by custom equal-length headers. The motor produces 250 hp to the wheels. Paul paired the V8 to a Cosworth T5 WC five-speed manual transmission, custom driveshaft, Quaife ATB limited-slip differential, and custom axles. The car rides on GAZ coilovers and Pirelli P Zeros tires (245\/45, 345\/35). On the body Paul installed a Group 2 body kit, Group 5-style rear wing, and custom aluminum spoiler.
