High performance Brembo brakes deliver stops with the authority of a rajah or dictator.Īlcantara, a man-made sticky cloth similar to suede, keeps the driver’s torso cuddled like a red-tailed hawk with a newly hatched nestling.
The stiff but supple suspension system, combined with hydraulic power steering and all-wheel drive with a center differential, keeps all four wheels planted for snowboard handling on twisting roads, even those with bumps and potholes that likely will loosen your molars.
