The supercharged 3.5-liter V6 Toyota Camry engine yields 10 extra horsepower for a total of 410 (hence the name) at 7,000 rpm and 302 pound-feet of torque at 3,500 rpm. 0-60 is 4 seconds with the six-speed manual, or 3.9 with the six-speed automatic.
Front splitter and rear spoiler increase downforce from 19 pounds to 40 at 100 mph and from 71 pounds to 141 at 150 mph.
The vestigial rear perches, along with the air conditioning, stereo wireless, rear bulkhead glass, sound insulation, door trims, and even the mud flaps have been jettisoned to reduce mass.
New carbon-fiber panels for the roof, rear deck, and front and rear panels. Total weight saving is 154 pounds compared to the 400, which makes the curb weight a feather-like 2,923 pounds.
Suspension adjustments include re-valved dampers and an effective spring-rate increase thanks to the lighter weight.
