Designed as the successor to the successful SE90P, the SE91P featured a lightweight aluminium monocoque chassis reinforced with carbon fiber, advanced aerodynamics, and an Acura 3.0L naturally aspirated V6 engine mounted in a mid-rear configuration. Equipped with a Hewland DGB 5-speed manual gear-box, the SE91P produced approximately 425 horsepower, making it a competitive entry in the Lights category.
Despite entering 143 races, the SE91P only achieved one podium finish.
