A Closer Look Into The GTC4Lusso T
Interior
The interior features have almost identical finishing’s to the GTC4Lusso. The buttery soft leather and real aluminum trim enhances the quality of luxury, reinforcing the notion that the changes are mostly in engine performance. The car is even more insulated reducing outside noise. The GTC4LussoT has upgraded the climate control system for a 25 percent quieter ride. There are also an increased number of sensors that relay environmental information to the climate control system. The GTC4LussoT has a beautifully balanced Dual Cockpit architecture designed to enhance the shared driving experience for both the passenger and the driver. There are two cockpits separated by a central divider where a cluster of all the comfort-oriented controls are located.Exterior
Luxury and style do not change for the outer dimensions of this GTC4LussoT. The car has the same body as the four-seat GTC 4Lusso, but it features a turbocharged V8 and send power only to the rear wheels which makes the ride smoother.Powertrain
Very similar to the GTC4Lusso, the GTC4LussoT has a different air intake system, a new intercooler, different pistons and revised connecting rods. Like the GTC4 Lusso, the GTC4LussoT has a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, though instead of an all-wheel-drive system, it comes with rear wheel drive. The car offers Side Slip Angle Control and four-wheel steering to steer the rear wheels in the same direction as the fronts which makes for sharper cornering maneuvers. The T’s horsepower rating is lower than the 488 GTB’s 660 hp but the torque figures are identical. To ensure power arrives in a linear fashion as the revs rise, the torque curves are varied between certain gears by adjusting the boost pressure, resulting in what Ferrari says is smooth, progressive acceleration. The exhaust has made some interesting modifications such as muted sound and non-linear power delivery. The 3.9-liter unit pumps out 600 hp, down from the standard model’s ponies. As the car goes up through the gears, the amount of torque delivered by the engine increases all the way up to 760 Nm in the 7th gear.
