Finished in a deep red and draped with gorgeous satin-black carbon wherever you look, the fit and finish of the Superleggera is exceptional. There’s also no reason to suspect it would be unreliable, either, with long service intervals (see below) and a two-year warranty from the factory.
The liquid-smooth Stradale motor loves to rev. Peak power is at 15,250rpm and peak torque at 11,750rpm but the V4 will carry on going to 16,000rpm, with a rev limiter in sixth gear at a giddy 16,500rpm.
We knew this first V4 Superleggera was going to be fast. The figures speak for themselves, but I didn’t expect the handling and braking to be quite so far ahead of the game. The ease and efficiency of the way the Superleggera slows, turns and rolls into corners, and changes direction between them is a whole new level. Brake late, accelerate early, miss your apex or mess up a line – and the Superleggera is there to pick up the pieces. Mid-corner there is simply endless grip and feedback.
