The transfer of all the strength of this sports car to the asphalt is done to all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. Its all-wheel-drive system, through a multi-disc clutch, can distribute the torque between the two axles in three different ways: 60:40, 30:70, or 50:50. True to the essence of sports cars, this version incorporates Torsen type limited-slip differentials both front and rear.
