Isdera Spyder Engines and Transmissions

Each Isdera Spyder engine is a gasoline unit driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox, as in the 1.8 MT and 2.3 MT examples. In a car this light, the larger 2.3 adds noticeably stronger pull, while the simple rear-drive powertrain keeps the driving feel unfiltered.
