To make it street-legal, the 963 RSP features a raised ride height, softened suspension, covered wheel wells, functioning road lights, a horn, license plate mounts, and a remapped version of its 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain, now tuned to run on pump fuel. It rides on Michelin wet-weather compound tires adapted for road use.
