What makes a great driver’s car?
“It’s not brute performance or gut-wrenching grip. A great driver’s car is about balance and finesse, about the quality of the interaction between man and machine.”
“A great driver’s car has the chassis and powertain and brakes and steering that enable the enthusiast driver to confidently explore the limits of its performance envelope on the track, yet remains engaging and entertaining when driven on the road. A great driver’s car doesn’t dare you to tame it; instead, it helps you maximize your potential.” — Angus MacKenzie
