Let the clutch out smoothly, but quickly, while apply- ing as much throttle as possible. Expect slight wheelspin. Be mindful of the rev limiter and shiſt appropriately. Test Notes: BRAKING The Balboni’s pedal is stiff but linear, and re- sponsive to modulation... ideal traits for a mid- engine sports car. The chassis is stable under ABS and in transitions, plus it understeers mildly during trail-braking. Test Notes: HANDLING The 550-2’s staggered tire widths produce mild understeer, which makes for stable transitions in the slalom, together with moderate body roll. The front end also doesn’t bind in tight turns , thanks to the Balboni’s rear-drive architecture. PRICING List price $219,800 Price as tested $255,295 Price as tested incl std equip.
