Working closely with Continental, the team was able to fine-tune the electronic stability control system. “We’ve worked on some really good modes in the car, full ESP mode as well as a sport reduced mode which still gives you a safety net but allows you to play with the car a bit more.”
With all the nannies switched off, GMA’s chief tester explains that the team also took the T.50 out in the snow to see what it’s like without ESP. As you would expect from a masterpiece of engineering created by one of the great automotive minds of our time, the supercar is easy to control.
“It didn’t miss a beat,” continues Howell. “We were doing long drives and had loads of confidence in it. We had no breakdowns, even in those conditions, which is fantastic. That was our first time in those conditions.”
