SUPERIOR DRIVING DYNAMICS
A combination of lightweight aluminum body construction and revised suspension settings delivers pin-point handling and supreme control. The re-engineered front suspension features a fully-machined aluminum upright that significantly increases camber and caster stiffness for precise steering with greater driver connection and responsiveness. The rear suspension geometry has also been revised for increased camber stiffness, and spring and damper rates have been revised at both ends of the car.
