The transmission was a highly modified Turbo-Hydramatic 425 General Motors three-speed automatic that had been used in front wheel drive Oldsmobile Toronados dating back some two decades earlier. The engine had intercooled Garrett twin-turbochargers, and produced an advertised 625 bhp (466 kW) at 5,700 rpm and 649 lb⋅ft (880 N⋅m) of torque at 4,900 rpm on 8 psi of boost pressure. Boost pressure levels were driver adjustable between 8 and 14 psi and during dyno testing at the factory, the engine put out 1,200 bhp (895 kW) at 14 psi of boost pressure.
