The aerodynamic package is strictly function-driven, featuring a massive adjustable rear wing, a prominent front splitter, and a deep rear diffuser engineered to maximize downforce and cornering speeds.

• Precision Braking: To endure the grueling demands of endurance racing, stopping power is provided by a heavy-duty braking system featuring ventilated discs and Brembo racing calipers (6-piston at the front, 4-piston at the rear), ensuring virtually fade-free performance lap after lap.
