When performance becomes the main focus
This trim is not just an upgrade. It feels like a completely different personality. While the base version focuses on balance and comfort, this one is built for pure performance. Every part of the driving experience has been pushed further. The engine is stronger. The handling is sharper. The overall feel is more aggressive. It is designed for drivers who want more than just a daily drive.
A massive jump in power and response
The biggest difference is found under the hood. Along with the 3.0-litre engine, a hand-built 6.2-litre supercharged V8 is used here. It produces around 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. This is a huge step up compared to the base model’s smaller turbocharged engine. Acceleration feels instant and very strong. A 6-speed manual transmission comes standard, which is not offered in the base version. A 10-speed automatic is also available for those who prefer it. The sound is deeper and more aggressive, giving a true performance feel.
Built to handle speed with confidence
Handling is taken to another level in this trim. Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 is included, which adjusts the suspension in real time. This system is more advanced than what is found in the base version. An electronically limited-slip differential is also included, helping improve grip during fast cornering. Larger Brembo performance brakes are added, providing greater stopping power. Wider tires and larger wheels, up to 19 inches, are used to improve stability. These upgrades make a big difference when driving at higher speeds.
A design that clearly stands apart
The exterior looks more aggressive right away. A unique front fascia, larger air intakes, and a bold rear spoiler are included. Carbon fibre elements are available but not offered on the base model. These parts help reduce weight and improve airflow. The stance looks lower and wider, giving it a track-ready appearance. Even the small details, like the grille and vents, are designed for performance, not just style.
Interior details that feel focused and refined
Inside, the difference is easy to feel. Performance seats are added, offering more support during spirited driving. These seats hold you in place better than the base model’s standard seats. Premium materials like leather and suede are used throughout the cabin. Carbon fibre trim adds a sporty touch. A performance steering wheel with a thicker grip is included, giving better control. The overall layout feels driver-focused, with everything placed for quick access.
Technology that supports performance driving
The infotainment system includes a 33-inch diagonal touchscreen, but the focus here is on performance tech. A performance data recorder is available, which tracks lap times, speed, and driving behaviour. This feature is not available in the base model. Custom drive modes allow the driver to adjust steering, suspension, and throttle response. A high-performance audio system is also included, giving clear sound even at high speeds. These features make the driving experience more engaging and more personal.
Safety that stays smart but adds control
Safety features remain strong, but the focus shifts slightly toward driver control. Advanced traction and stability systems are tuned for performance driving. These systems allow more freedom while still keeping the vehicle stable. Performance traction management offers different levels of control, depending on driving conditions. Standard safety features like forward collision alert and lane assist are still included, but they are paired with systems designed for high-speed confidence.
Fuel use that reflects its power
Fuel efficiency is lower than the base version, as expected at this level of performance. Combined fuel consumption is around 13-15 L/100 km, depending on driving style. This trim is built for power, not efficiency. The trade-off is clear. You get extreme performance in return.
Space that stays practical enough
Cargo space remains similar to the base model, offering around 337 litres. It is enough for daily use, but this trim is not focused on utility. The focus stays on the driving experience. The rear seats still offer decent room, making it usable for everyday needs.
What truly sets it apart
This trim completely transforms the driving experience. It is not just about more power. It is about better control, sharper handling, and a stronger connection between driver and road. The base version feels comfortable and refined. This one feels alive and ready for action. The difference is clear the moment you start driving.
