The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:
The Formula 400 Super Sport is an American-built entry into the high-performance luxury sport boat market dominated in recent years by a handful of pricey European imports. Long and narrow, the 400 is built on Formula's "Fas3Tech" hull bottom-a double- stepped deep-V designed to reduce the water's grip on the hull. The result, according to company engineers, is a faster and more stable boat that runs at near-optimal running angles without the need to constantly trim the drives. Beautifully styled, the Super Sport is a superb day boat with plenty of cockpit space and a wide- open interior. With the owner's stateroom aft, a rich Ultraleather wraparound lounge forward and four overhead translucent hatches dominate the salon. On deck, the double-wide helm seat folds away for standup driving, and a walk-through windshield opens to a wide stretch of nonskid leading to the bow. Notable features include a recessed anchor storage compartment, a hinged storage locker at the transom, and good engine access. Twin 425hp gas stern drives
will achieve a top speed of close to 45 knots.

Overview
The Formula 400 SS is a distinctive model notable for being the first in the world to feature the Volvo stern drive joystick paired with diesel engines. This innovative configuration includes the Volvo Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) system, which automatically adjusts the trim of the outdrives to optimize performance. Measuring 41 feet 6 inches in length overall with a beam of 11 feet, the 400 SS offers a draft of 3 feet when equipped with Volvo stern drives.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 370 horsepower Volvo D6 diesel engines, the Formula 400 SS achieved a top speed of 47.2 miles per hour during testing. At a best cruise setting of 2,500 RPM, the boat maintained a speed of 28.8 miles per hour while consuming 19 gallons of fuel per hour. With a full fuel capacity of 250 gallons, the vessel's range extends to approximately 341 miles. Handling characteristics were notably impressive, with the boat maintaining course stability even when navigating varying wake conditions. The solid feel through all maneuvers and the absence of spray on the windshield underscored the boat's refined design.
Handling and Steering
The Formula 400 SS is characterized as a 'fingertip boat' due to its highly responsive power steering system. Each engine is equipped with its own power steering pump, ensuring continued steering control even if one pump fails. The boat demonstrated exceptional agility, capable of executing 40 mile-per-hour turns at full speed with ease. The Volvo EVC system enhances handling by automatically adjusting the outdrive trim from an initial minus three degrees to zero degrees as the boat reaches a level plane, then gradually returning to minus three degrees as power is reduced. The Volvo stern drive joystick offers precise maneuverability without the need for a bow thruster, providing full control at the operator's fingertips. This innovative joystick control challenges traditional assumptions that boats over 30 feet require inboard engines for superior docking handling.
Conclusion
The Formula 400 SS represents a significant advancement in sport cruiser design by integrating diesel power with Volvo's stern drive joystick and electronic vessel control systems. Its combination of strong performance, precise handling, and innovative technology makes it a compelling option in its class. The boat's solid feel, efficient fuel consumption, and ease of maneuvering highlight its thoughtful engineering and practical benefits for operators.
