Similarly, the traction and stability control systems include a competition mode that allows greater drift angles, or they can be shut off entirely.

With our tests occurring on a rainy day, we had a chance to sample these vehicles in the mud, wet sand, and in a rock garden where the lack of grip really allowed us to see how the traction control and four - wheel - drive systems responded in less - than - ideal conditions.

As in the F430, the «manettino» switch on the leather and carbon steering wheel allows you to alter the parameters of the F1 - Trac traction and stability control system (it also has a bearing on the engine management and the E-diff electronic differential), but it now offers a greater range of adjustment.
