CST, or Controllo Stabilità e Trazione, is a Ferrari stability control system that helps improve the handling and safety of the vehicle. This advanced system is specifically designed for Ferrari sports cars and supercars and is a standard feature on all newer models. The CST system works by continuously monitoring various sensors throughout the Ferrari, including the steering angle, lateral acceleration, and wheel speed. By analyzing this information, the system can detect if the car is approaching its limits of traction and stability, and can intervene by adjusting the engine torque and brake force to prevent a loss of control.

A vintage car is coined for automobiles that were manufactured between 1919 and 1930. An antique car is any vehicle that is 45 years or older. The criteria for State DMVs, insurance companies, and even classic car clubs vary from one another. In some scenarios, there may be an overlap between classics and antiques and vintage cars.
