You sink into a bolstered seat, the carbon-fiber cockpit focusing attention forward; the city of the Gold Coast slips past—beaches on one side, the low, green rim of the hinterland on the other. This is a driving experience built to feel like a brief, intense race weekend rather than a sightseeing cruise.
