of the four engine power modes (Rain, Sport, Race and Slick) were also
modified for added torque at low-to-mid engine speeds. Rain mode also
now cranks out an additional eight peak horsepower. Lastly the Slick map
(designed for use with high-grip racing tires) provides improved
vehicle stability during deceleration when the engine is in the overrun
phase (at 14,000 rpm redline).
Both
the air intake and the exhaust systems were also tweaked. The ram air
induction opening is 20% larger and feeds a slightly modified airbox
(necessitated due to revised chassis geometry, more on that later). The
stainless-steel exhaust was also altered with the catalyzers relocated
from the headers to the muffler. This allowed the removal of the oil
sump’s heat shield, which saves a little bit of weight. Furthermore a
complete exhaust system built by Akrapovic is available as an accessory
directly from the dealer.
