Not really much on the inside. A simple motif of carbon-fiber occupies the cabin. It's only broken up by the Bride race seat and the electronic dash setup. A small wall of buttons, knobs, and switches that scream, "Do not touch!" reside on the center console (interestingly enough, the wiper and turn signal levers are still intact), which runs all the way down to an XTrac six-speed sequential transmission. So far, I've determined that even if I were able to get into the car, I'd have absolutely no idea what to do after that, not the least of which is attacking a track. Attacking the driveway is more reasonable. Crashing into the walls would be more likely.
Now, for the numbers guys: the Track Attack Altezza is rated at 600 hp at 8,000 rpm and an even more impressive 450 lb-ft of torque at 6,000. It weighs around 2,000 pounds. Final drive is set at 4.375. Air jacks installed in three places under the car enable instant lifting of the car for repairs. They also allow for easy turning of the car during photo shoots, which is pretty much all the car has in store for its future since it's no longer track bound. Still, the Altezza cuts a pretty mean profile.
