Is coupled to an automatic transmission or a six relations manual gearbox the same number of gears, with which you can reach a top speed of 273 km / h and accelerate from zero to 100 kph in just 4.5 seconds.

Despite these impressive figures of performance, compliance with regulations of gaseous pollutants Euro 5 and 6, emitting only 200 grams of CO2 per kilometer and an average consumption of 7 liters per hundred kilometers.
