Prototypes and New Cars
This department constructs prototypes of new cars and tests the function of groups and components of the chassis, engine, transmission and body. Data from the new engine is also analysed, in particular that relating to exhaust gases, ensuring that emission levels conform to regulations in all the global markets in which Ferrari has a presence.
Once checked, the car undergoes a rigorous road and track test where the smoothness of the gear changes, road-holding and brakes are all verified.
