The Speedster looks exactly like the Vision 357, save for the shortened windscreen and the fact that it doesn’t have a roof. The exterior features a two-tone finish, combining Marble Grey and Grivelo Grey Metallic with Miami Blue accents. The right side of the car features a tonneau cover. Inside, the car gets a low-mounted seat with a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic shell integrated into the monocoque. The minimalist cabin features a carbon fibre dashboard with a transparent instrument cluster and Miami Blue accents in some parts.
