All that power goes to the rear wheels via the 3-speed automatic transmission. This example is done in the stunning Arctic white and Tiara Gold Metallic color combination with a white and black interior. Some noticeable features on the exterior include tail fins, gold script trim, wing windows, and a hood bulge to clear the factory-equipped supercharger.
