This car is very solid in structure as a result. The engineers pointed out how difficult and how much work is involved in doing this. Needless to say, they made it very clear how proud they were of being able to achieve this. Apparently, it's a bit of an engineering marvel.
Way t'go!
Thanks Elie

Structural rigidity is one of the aspects of a sports car that I am probably overly obsessed with. There's nothing worse than a car that has a great engine and suspension but behaves like a wet noodle when pushed hard around corners and driving aggressively. Glad to hear the engineering team addressed this properly.
