Specifications edit

The Roadyacht GTS is equipped with a V8 engine derived from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 that produces 670 hp (500 kW; 679 PS) and 730 N⋅m (538 lb⋅ft) of torque. This allows for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).[citation needed] Despite the ballast embarked to compensate for some features of the vehicle (such as the absence of the fixed roof and the presence of four doors), the Roadster GTS had a total weight of 1,280 kg (2,822 lb). The retractable roof, activated by an electric control, was made of glass panels reinforced with carbon fiber and had a multi-panel telescopic configuration that allowed it to close thanks to the overlapping of the panels in the boot.[1]
