The wheels are another aesthetic singularity of the RK Spyder. The rims have been designed and manufactured by TOORA. Exclusively developed for this project, they are made of forged aluminum, composed of three pieces and have five spokes. FULDA has specifically designed and produced the tires for StudioTorino from their Carat Exelero series. All is completed by a specific and powerful BREMBO braking system with aluminum brackets and cast iron discs.

Since the car is topless, special attention has been focused on the aesthetics of the interior.

The lower part of the dashboard, the steering wheel, the door panels, and the centre console have been hand upholstered with luxury leather by POLTRONA FRAU.

The seats have been designed and built by TOORA and appear for the first time on the RK Spyder. The electrically reclining seats are made of carbon fiber and are hand upholstered using lavishly innovative POLTRONA FRAU leather. The leather used for the seats has been specially engineered for a topless sports car: it reflects sunrays and maintains a constant temperature even after having been exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

Also by POLTRONA FRAU is the newly designed wall that separates the engine from the interior in black leather with a diamond design and double stitching in a contrasting color.

The brake and clutch pedals have been personalized. They are made of aluminum and have a rubber anti-slip pad bearing the StudioTorino logo.

The rollbar, which has been repainted, has been left original as well as the safety belts.

An elegant name plate on the console carries the serial number of the car.
