The vehicle weighs only 906 kg. The interior is completely utilitarian: two Recaro buckets, a new dashboard, a Sparco steering wheel and the signature of Ken Block himself on the door card.

This is one of the few Gymkhana cars that had a direct connection to the racer, and is of interest to both collectors and those who want the experience of driving a car prepared in the style of Ken Block.
