Engines moved inside chassis, and the rear bumper has been redesigned, it also now has a new spoiler to better replicate the stock out-of-factory one you get in real life rather than a custom wing. Also, handling has improved a lot.

Top speed now 118 m/s, maximum stable speed seems to be 85 - 90 m/s, and in turns you lose a lot of speed, so maybe 30 - 40 m/s while turning.

That's actually pretty accurate to the real 918.

Real one does 94 m/s, but keep in mind it is violently uncontrollable at that speed in-game, so the max "safe" speed is 70 m/s, but it can survive a crash at 80 m/s if you don't roll.

That being said, I'm working on it!
