The rear-mounted 2.85-liter V6 was developed collaboratively by Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo.
Output was originally rated at 130 horsepower and 153 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
The DMC-12 features brushed stainless steel body panels over a fiberglass underbody and a Lotus-derived chassis.
The front and rear fascias are painted metallic gray, and other features include a louvered rear-window cover, black bumper covers, dual polished exhaust outlets, a power antenna, and vertically-opening gullwing doors.
The air conditioning system was converted to use R124a refrigerant in November 2013, and the system was recharged in April 2022.
The five-digit odometer shows 11k miles, total mileage is unknown.
