Forged wheels, a redesigned bumper, a vented bonnet, finned side sills, and a taller rear spoiler are some of the active aerodynamics of the Speciale, which help to deliver maximum downforce in cornering and minimum drag in a straight line. The air outlets at the sides of the headlights include three louvers reminiscent of the 250 GTO and F40.
