[5] Iso chose to replace the Chevrolet engine with Ford's Cleveland V8 rated at 325 hp (242 kW).

The rear suspension had dual trailing arms and a Watts linkage which located the De Dion axle.

The Lele came with a ZF power steering which was the same unit used by Maserati and Campagnolo magnesium alloy wheels, wrapped in 215/70 VP15 Michelin XWX tyres.

The interior was upholstered in leather and came with creature comforts like air conditioning and electric windows along with plush carpeting.

[6] It was based on two bespoke versions made for Iso-Marlboro Formula One team drivers Howden Ganley and Nanni Galli.

The cars, which were made for drivers Howden Ganley and Nanni Galli, had a unique dash layout that did not appear on any other Lele.

The exterior styling cues from these two cars were used to develop the Lele Sport which also had a modified version of their dash layout.
