Driving & Emotion

Moments, Sound, Feelings

Driving the GT4 is less about pure speed — and more about sensation.

The car is certainly fast enough, even for modern standards.
But what you notice first is how instantly present it feels around you.

Everything feels close: the wheel in your hands, the pedals slightly offset, your seat set surprisingly far forward — almost like a cockpit, closer to the nose than you’d ever expect in a road car — the engine breathing just behind your shoulders, and the road stretching out through that wide windshield.

The steering asks for effort, not ease — unassisted, immediate, and alive in your hands.
And with the stability of that long wheelbase, the GT4 feels precise and unshaken, speaking through the chassis in subtle, honest messages.
Nothing is over-assisted. Nothing is diluted.

And then there is the sound.
At higher revs — and 7600 rpm definitely qualifies as high — the V8 doesn’t simply get louder, it sharpens.
Metallic, urgent, unmistakably mechanical.
Not a modern soundtrack, but the real thing.

And yet, the GT4 doesn’t rely on spectacle.
Its emotion comes from involvement — from the sense that nothing stands between you and the machine.

You sit low, you see far, and the whole car feels like it was built around involvement rather than comfort.

It doesn’t overwhelm you.

It draws you in — and once it does, even an ordinary road will feel like an occasion.
