Powered by a 4.5-liter inline-eight engine producing 120 horsepower, it offered impressive performance for its time, with smooth acceleration and a top speed that made it a favorite among driving enthusiasts. The car’s advanced engineering included a three-speed manual transmission and a sturdy chassis, providing a balanced combination of speed and comfort.
