The platform is made from a mixture of aluminum and carbon fiber. The monocoque is made from carbon fiber, and the bodywork can be assembled piece by piece. According to the automaker, the panels are the longest ever made of carbon fiber for a car’s body. The 660 LMS is just 2,160 pounds (980 kg) because of these measures.

Although the 660 LMS engine is its first use on a road-legal vehicle, “the track” is the engine’s natural environment. Through a six-speed sequential Sadev gearbox, the power reaches its rear wheels.
Performance is crucial for vehicle track performance. Picasso spent much time running CFD simulations, and testing the 660 LMS inside the wind tunnel. The aero pack includes a large front splitter and rear manually operated wings, a flat floor, and a massive diffuser. It generates 2,116 lbs (960kg) of maximum downforce at speeds of 196 mph (315 km/h). The wheels are 19 inches front and 20 inches rear with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R. Brembo’s front and rear brakes are equipped with six-piston and four-piston Brembo calipers.
