The JUDD Power-reworked 3.5L naturally aspirated V-6 engine produces 425 horsepower and revs to 8500 rpm, paired with a six-speed manual transmission.
## Chassis and Interior Upgrades
The Tensei includes reinforced construction, adjustable KW dampers, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and a driver-focused interior with analog tachometer and manual shifter.

Only 35 units will be produced, each customized for its owner, with pricing yet to be announced but expected to be expensive.
