The modern design of the T - eight is purely emotional. Technical aspects were considered functionally and played only a minor role with the economic aspects. The angular design of the aluminum body of the T - eight shows very clear lines from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The brawny and edged air intakes on both sides are covered with expended metal mesh in honeycomb design. A few technical features of a chopper (motorcycle) should definitely be found in the T - eight. Therefore, technical features such as the mechanical throttle, the ignition switch, the two operating levers on the handlebar and the running boards / footboards for both, the driver and the passenger are a must. However, the left operating lever on the handlebar locks and unlocks the parking brake, the right operating lever puts the automatic transmission into neutral position. An electric parking brake was deliberately omitted, because the left locking lever is meant to be a technical and design feature parallel to the gearshift lever.

The gearshift lever of the 3-speed automatic transmission is made of aluminum CNC-routed. It is located next to the dash board and very easy to reach. As an additional technical and safety feature the driver must pull an unlocking lever before any gear can be chosen.

The striking dashboard instrument are mounted on the aluminum body and on the handlebar with the same inclination as the steering column.

Vehicle base: The basis of the T - eight is a specially developed tubular frame which was welded in a specially manufactured welding gauge according to DIN EN ISO 3834-2: 2006. Of course, the raw frame strength was calculated and tested for fatigue strength

The complete brake system with ABS of the T - eight in regularly used in a German series-production vehicle with similar characteristics as the T - eight. Further components taken from a series-production vehicle are the wheel hubs on the front and rear axle. The suspension has been specially developed and manufactured by iKindustries.

The specially developed chassis with CNC milled double wishbones made of aluminum in the front and in the rear in combination with the special coilover suspension are carrying the vehicle base.

The rear wheel drive T – eight is powered by the combination of the 6.2L V8 engine with 430 HP, a 3-speed automatic transmission and a special made differential.
