The factory 2.7-liter flat-six was replaced in 2005 with an engine sourced from a later 3.2 Carrera model that was reportedly assembled and installed by S.M. Motor Sports of New Hyde Park, New York.

According to the seller, additional equipment and modifications include:
The fuel tank was replaced in 2021, and the fuel pump was replaced in June 2022. The seller states that the throttle is sensitive.
