The transmission had a short 25/27 gear ratio and a racing clutch with reinforced discs. The brakes were derived from the F 40 Evoluzione with no ABS, but larger discs and calipers.
Even the suspension
was modified for racing with rigid rose joints, competition-ready dampers and springs. The standard car's 17" wheels were replaced by 18" ones with 239/635/18 tyres to the front and 265/645/18 to the rear. There was no great
difference, however, in the engine, aside from the free flow exhaust.
