It is a plug-in hybrid whose 204 hp electric motor works on the rear axle. It transmits its power through a two-speed gearbox.
The combustion engine is the same four-cylinder, only with a larger turbocharger, producing 476 hp and 525 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful four-cylinder in the world. Together, the system gives 680 horsepower and 1020 Nm, thanks to which the car accelerates to a hundred in 3.5 seconds.
The top speed is limited to 275 km/h and consumption should be 7.5 l/100 km + 12.7 kWh/100 km. The battery has a capacity of 6.1 kWh, but electric driving is not a priority – the car can travel only 12 km without starting the internal combustion engine.
