The heart of the car is a 5.0L Ford Coyote V8 producing 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, delivering a thrilling experience. The power-to-weight ratio is exceptional when weighing just over 1,000 kg (2,400 lbs). A supercharged version pushing 700 horsepower is also available for those seeking more performance.<\/p>\n<p>The CSX10000 embraces modern features like power steering, LED headlights, larger 18-inch wheels, upgraded Wilwood brakes, and a Tremec six-speed gearbox. These updates make the car more accessible and enjoyable for a broader audience.
