Drive to the transaxle is via a torque tube and propeller shaft to a transaxle (combined differential and gearbox). The torque tube is a structural member that adds rigidity to the drive train and chassis while also reducing vibration.
The bodywork is a combination of lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium used for high rigidity even without a roof.
