Torsional rigidity is 1500 kgm/degrees, and flexional rigidity is 800 kg/mm. The Ferrari frame has the constructional simplicity that comes from many years of experience in building racing cars. Simplcity and structural discipline combined with extremely stable performance in time produce an excellent result for vehicles with a strong sports temperament destined for production in limited numbers. All this guarantees total engineering safety in terms of structure, and the reliabilty of engine, transmission, suspension, steering and brakes anchorage. The safety features are outstanding, particularly with regard to the central cage which is very strong and protected by peripheral elements which constitute a system with high energy absorption. Such high safety standards are a must for a company like Ferrari, which exports over 85% of its production to foreign markets, which means that the strictest safety standards must be met. The fuel tank is in light aluminium alloy and holds 30 US gal. The fuel pumps are of the immersed type. The tank is in a protected position in front of the rear axle, underneath the car.
