Aero Features

  • Turbo V6 engine
    The V6 Turbo with 255 hp is incredible. It’s loaded with masses of torque from idle to redline. From 1800 to 4500 r/min you’ll have a huge 350 Nm to play with. Power delivery is instant and accompanied by an exhilarating sound from the sports tuned exhaust pipes.
  • Two-stage turbo diesel
    The latest development of our turbo engine technology, found on the new 1.9 TTiD engine. One smaller and one larger turbocharger co-operate to provide higher torque over a wider rev range. The smaller turbocharger works alone up to 1800 r/min. After that the second-stage turbo kicks in and both chargers run. Above 3000 r/min, the larger turbo charges the engine below.
  • Sports chassis
    Tuned to provide enhanced stability. Special dampers, stabilisers and high-performance springs mean more precise steering response and better body control, cornering and braking.
  • Aero sports leather-trim steering wheel
    Sports steering wheel with pronounced thumb grips and leather-trimmed rim. Metallic-effect inserts on the rim and spokes.
  • Alloy wheel 5-spoke Low Split 17x7,5"
  • Body coloured bumper sport side skirts
