Some of the technical highlights include R.E.A.M.S.® – Recyclable Energy Absorbing Matrix System and TRIFECTACOOLING® technology, which is stage two and stage three systems that lower coolant temperature on the inflow and outflow from the radiator.
Only 81 of the technological marvels will be built, to coincide with the number of June classics at Le Mans from the first in 1923 to its 90-year anniversary in 2013.
