Part of the control continuum is braking, achieved through four ventilated Brembo discs measuring 330 mm (13.0 in) up front and 310 mm (12.2 in) out back. New Ferodo heat and compression resistant pads enhance feel and shorten stopping distances, further aided by improvements in brake ventilation. ABS and ASR traction control are also part of the package.
If you're fortunate enough to drive a 575M, and I'm still feeling honored to have driven the 550, then you will experience the treat of lifetime. If you actually own one, then I hate you! Humor aside, those who get to experience a car of this magnitude day in and day out are a blessed lot. The 550 was one of, if not the best car I've ever had the pleasure of coursing through the corners, and the 575M reportedly leaves the old girl wanting. That, to me, is an awe inspiring thought.
