The design was implemented on the platform of the Ferrari Testarossa, which dictated the car's wedge shape and large air intake ahead of the rear wheels.

The Mythos is powered by a 4.9 L Tipo F113 B Ferrari flat-12 engine sourced from the Testarossa, the engine has a power output of 390 hp (291 kW; 395 PS) at 6,300 rpm and 354 N⋅m (261 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm while having a power-to-weight ratio of 308 hp per tonne.

The car utilises a helical coil suspension system with transverse arms on the front and rear.

Although not intended to be sold to the public, the current Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, is known to have commissioned three Mythos, with one being red, blue and the other being black, with the black example belonging to Jefri Bolkiah, the Sultan's brother.
