Supercharged 7.2-liter V8 engines with 1242 HP (913kW) and 1600 Nm (1180lb-ft), power the road-legal vehicle. It weighs in at 900 kg (1985lbs) despite its powerful engine. This translates to a power-to weight ratio of 1.38:1 (1HP:kg). For comparison, the Koenigsegg One-One has an power-to-weight ratio that is 1:1 (HP:kg). A 6-speed manual transmission is used to transmit the V8 engine’s power to the rear wheels via a limited slip differential.

Fahlke claims that the sprint to 0 – 100 km/h (0 -62 mph), takes just two seconds. The 200 km/h mark (125 mph), can be reached in five second. According to Fahlke, the top speed is over 400 km/h (249 miles).

The GT1 S12 is made around a carbon fibre monocoque, carbon fiber body panels, and 18-inch forged aluminium wheels. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes have been installed on the machine with four-piston at both the front and back.
