engine, transmission and chassis. The LSA 6.2 litre engine is not your ordinary V8. Read
the data. An almighty 585PS @ 6150rpm. 740Nm of torque @ 3850rpm. Solid-state direct fire
ignition, with a high energy coil for every single cylinder. Hi-flow exhaust system with x-pipe
intermediate and bi-modal silencers. And a grin from ear to ear every time you fire it up. To say
nothing of the rush of adrenalin from a chassis that now features launch control and performance
suspension with third generation magnetic ride control and brake torque vectoring technology.
