At the time of launch, the car had conquered the famous Fiorano racetrack and when launched in North America, the car also had the opportunity to show off its capabilities at Indianapolis. Recently, this high-performance supercar was present at a private event taking place at Palmer Motorsports Park. This racetrack is built on a hilltop in the woods of Massachusetts and was built in 2015.
This street racing car has gone through 14 laps, each lap is about 3.7 kilometers long and has many dangerous turns.
