Soft as in more comfortable ride, easier to drive and handle, more safety features.
I rate this by what I call the Concubine factor. ie would you buy her one?

No such problems for today's billionaire. They can buy an Enzo, Carrera GT or SLR for their kept women and feel safe that they are able to drive it themselves.
I mean Walter Rohl (Porsches' test driver) was quoted saying the Carrera GT is so easy to drive that "Even a woman can drive it". And it's the only one of the three I mentioned that has a clutch pedal. The others are paddle shift and automatic.
So are the Supercars today compromising performance for usability or has our technology evolved to the point where we can have both without compromising either?
