Optimization of the software costs an astonishing 2,999 euros for just 18hp.

"The Ferrari is an extremely well-balanced car. Steering is super-accurate.

"This car is really, really impressive. I had all stability controls turned off, and this the kind of car where you can live without 'em.

On the steering... "It's a confidence-inspiring car, but still sharp. I still felt like I was always steering the car with the steering wheel. Full-tread street tires. I don't have to spend time catching the car much."

"It puts down power amazingly well, unlike some of the other powerful cars. It just digs off a corner. Powerful engine, very fast car. Very fast. Overall... The car's fabulous. Fabulous."

Accepts power con brio. Fast, smooth, aggressive shifts; amazing spread of power from 4000 rpm to 9000 rpm."
Best handling trait is traction under power."

Turn 11: "Cuts in sharply and accurately. Rear well-behaved, stays put. Overachiever on street tires."
