Basic package remained same but there were number of changes all around the car, ranging from new aerodynamic package to changes in transmission and engine. The aerodynamic changes are most apparent and include new front bumper and move to smaller but more efficient, lip-style rear wing. Front bumper improves not only aerodynamic efficiency but also cooling.
Engine tuning moved from Mountune to Cosworth Racing and mechanical differences include new anti-lag system and turbo-charger. Clutch has been moved up by 150 millimeters in order to eliminate vibrations. This led to other packaging changes in engine bay, too.
