It comes with all the pertinent safety gear (six-point restraint, roll cage, fire-suppression system) and none of the usual amenities (radio, A/C, floor mats).

(Aside: Can you really call it "turnkey" when there's no actual key? There's an ignition switch, but it's not operated with a key: you toggle the switch and press the Start button.) Said window sticker, incidentally, is hilarious. Here's the "fuel-economy" information:
