It had a top speed of 225 mph (362 km/h), which is less than the standard version due to added aerodynamic drag, despite identical gear ratios. The LM is 76 kg lighter than the stock F1 a total mass of 1062 kg – this is achieved through no interior noise suppression, no audio system, a very stripped down base interior, no fan assisted ground effect and no dynamic rear wing.
