The external appearance was virtually unchanged except for some small device like a boot lid to simulate a more pronounced alettoncino, the skirts, the unique design of 20 "wheels as standard, and new tailpipes featuring flattened and elongated shape (2 wide and flat instead of round section 4 of the GranTurismo "normal"). Special features of the discharges is that by pressing "sport" you open the bypass exhaust that raise the power output and the "sound" of the car already very aggressive in another version "S".
