The Cavallo Roadster V12, formerly known as Cavallo 808 Spider, is an Italian sports car in Driving Empire. It is priced at $525,800.
The Roadster V12 is based on the Ferrari 812 GTS, the open top version of the 812 Superfast. This marks the first front-engine V12 series production convertible model offered by Ferrari in 50 years, as the convertible variants of the 550, the 575 and the 599 were limited edition models meant for special customers only.
The large rear buttresses present at the rear hold the folding hard top roof under a tonneau cover present between them when not in use. The electronically operated hard top takes 14 seconds for operation and is operable at speeds up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
The GTS weighs 75 kg (165 lb) more than the Superfast due to chassis reinforcing components but maintains equal performance. The mechanical components including the engine remain the same as the Superfast except for the transmission which has shorter gear ratios to improve the car's response to throttle inputs. The engine's high-pressure injection system reduces the number of particles that are emitted before the catalytic converter warms up. There is also a new gasoline particulate filter and a stop-start system to improve fuel economy. Other features shared with the Superfast include the Manettino dial, side-slip angle control and variable steering weight. The car has been aerodynamically refined in order to eliminate any turbulence arising from the loss of a fixed roof.
In-Game Information[]
The Cavallo 808 Spider has superb handling(47%), making it the one of the best handling cars for its performance range. The car has great acceleration, and can be used well as a drag car if modified properly. It doesn't have the best top speed at 211 mph compared to some other or even cheaper cars, so it will be sometimes outpaced on the Highway.
Overall it is a good car to buy considering its handling and acceleration, but it is always good to consider the other options such as the 2017 Ford GT.
