know what’s under this Roadster’s hood though. Like the V12 coupe, the flagship ragtop is marked out by a wider body with stretched front and rear fenders design to accommodate a track that’s up to 1.6-inches wider than the standard car’s. Other identifying – and also functional – features includes a full with front splitter, a front grille that’s 25 percent bigger, a horse-shoe vent in the hood, sculpted side sills and a rear diffuser.
Other weight saving measures include the use of carbon fiber for the front bumper, clamshell hood, fenders and sill extensions, while the rear bumper and deck lid are also made from a composite material. Rounding out the efforts to offset the extra heft of the V12 motor are a special lightweight battery, an exhaust system made from 0.004-inch stainless steel that saves 15.9 lbs , and a standard carbon brake package that undercuts a conventional steel brake kit by 50.7 lbs .
