F1-style aero pillar manages longitudinal and transverse airflow.

Special channels on the bonnet deflect air and reduce front-axle lift.

Scuderia Ferrari insignia is optional and will cost a cool Rs 5 lakh a pair.

Should you need to listen to things other the turbo-fed V8, there are stereo choices from a standard unit to one by JBL Professional. Our car had the standard system and sound quality was likeable. The system consists of a radio, Bluetooth, USB and in-built navigation. The dual screens (on either side of the tacho) can be quite confusing until you have worked out what resides where. The menu system isn’t the most intuitive either. Controls for the system are on the dash and the back of the steering. These are out of sight but are quite easy to locate and use. On the whole, the system is impressive but does not have the same techy feel as the VW-supplied unit of the Huracán.
