That's extremely light for a two-seat sports car with a removable hardtop, which is incidentally stowable within the 120 L (4.2 cu ft) front storage compartment. Its low mass is due to a body constructed of preimpregnated carbon fiber/Kevlar composite and lightweight hard-foam sandwich reinforcements.

Overwhelming horsepower and torque levels combine with featherweight mass for an otherworldly 3.2 second zero to 100 km/h sprint. The standing quarter mile arrives in a mere 9 seconds at a blistering speed of 235 km/h (146 mph). Top speed nears 400 km/h, or more precisely 395+, (242+ mph).
This high speed comes courtesy of an extremely slippery body shell and flat underbelly, plus venturi tunnels at the rear of car, resulting in a wind cheating Cd of 0.297.

Bringing things to an immediate halt are power assisted, ABS enhanced 362 by 32 mm vented discs front and rear, featuring 6-piston light alloy calipers. Braking from 100 km/h, only 31 meters (101.7 feet) is needed for a complete stop.
The car's massive 255/35 R19 front and 335/30 R20 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 2 unidirectional tires with an asymmetric tread pattern are fitted to gorgeous magnesium alloy rims. They do as much to aid in braking as they grip the asphalt, helping the CCR achieve 1.3Gs on the 300 ft (91.4 meter) skid pad.
