The Bass770's design was inspired by muscle cars from the 1960s-1970s, most notably, the first generation Ford Mustang fastback, with other design cues taken from the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, Pontiac GTO, and AMC Marlin. This inspiration extends to the Bass770's interior, which makes heavy use of physical gauges and switches with metal accents. Despite its styling, the Bass770 comes equipped with various modern comfort features, such as LED lights, parking sensors, an infotainment system and GPS navigation.

The car's chassis and body are made of aluminum with carbon fiber linings. The entire vehicle is handcrafted. The car uses a 6162 cc LS9 supercharged 90.5-degree V8 engine derived from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The engine can deliver up to at 6500 rpm and lbft at 3800 rpm. This enables the car to accelerate from in 3.4 seconds, and achieve a top speed above. Power is delivered to the rear wheels by a 6-speed rear-mounted dual-clutch transmission. The car's tires measure 255/40ZR19 at the front and 285/40ZR19 at the rear. The car uses Brembo six-piston brake calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear, along with carbon ceramic matrix (CCM) ventilated and cross-drilled brake rotors are utilized for braking. The rotors measure at the front and at the rear. The Bass 770 is equipped with driving assists such as a magnetic selective ride control, performance traction management, an active handling system with traction control, and power steering.
