The Rapid featured a 6.0-litre V12 engine delivering 470 bhp power with 600 Nm of maximum torque, and achieved 0-100 kmph in 5 seconds. The maximum speed registered was 295 kmph.

The car races from 0-100 kmph in 4.9 seconds, maintaining its top speed at 306 kmph. This boost in power was a result of the modified chassis, which is made slender by using aluminum and magnesium. The interiors feature comfortable leather seats, electric consoles on the dashboard, and also heated front/rear seats are provided. Also offered are options of magnesium silver rear lamps infills, carbon exterior pack, carbon interior pack and matching wood door trims are provided, as per the customers' demands.
