The Habanero is powered by a numb-feeling V6, paired to a 5 speed gearbox in an AWD configuration.

ABS is strangely not available on the Habanero, although on very rare cases, some Habaneros will feature ABS, however front wheel lockup still occurs. Handling at speed is fair, though the suspension does not perform as well as what would be expected. At slow speeds, it's far too soft leading to body roll, while at high speeds it's far too firm and unforgiving. Crash deformation is below average and build quality is sub-par, often leading to catastrophic failure after only a few accidents. | ||
