The MXT has a package of compact aerodynamic shapes, with a light chassis weight and reduced obstructions to the flow of air, which distributes airflow in a strategic way to aid with cutting through the air to increase speed and reduce fuel consumption.
The structure is made up of specially designed aluminium extrusions a first for this project. And utilizes some of the lightweight elements found in aluminum foil, which is combined with plastics to produce a lightweight but strong composite for the flooring panels.
The interior features an ergonomic and sporty design, has a cabin that is low but wide, with a high dashboard set-up and low nose, giving it a modern and surprisingly spacious interior
