The engine is connected to a specially developed seven-speed transverse Quaife gearbox equipped with paddle shifters. It rides on 17-inch center-lock cast alloy wheels (forged are optionally available) with stopping power coming from with 330mm front / 310mm rear fully-floating disc brakes with six-pot calipers.
The 2014 RXC Turbo is 4300mm long, 1960mm wide and 1127mm tall and benefits from a double wishbone front & rear suspension with adjustable dampers.
