The Good:
- Excellent interior space
- Very comfortable ride
- Tons of V8 power
The Bad:
- Fit and finish
- V8 fuel economy
- Undeserving price increase
but it has more than enough power to slap up most of the "fast" cars around it. With 360 hp on tap at 5700 rpm, and 530 Nm of torque ready to shred the rear tyres at 4400 rpm, it can do wonders for your inferiority complex. With the standard stability control on, the car zipped to 100 kph in 6.3 seconds. With the system off, it can do the deed in an excellent 6.1 seconds with a mild tyre-saving launch at 2000 rpm. But it is not as fast as most people would expect, due to its weight gain over the previous model. The sport-tuned suspension is not firm enough to cause any discomfort whatsoever, smoothening out roads with luxury-like ease. At 120 kph, the engine chugs along at only 2000 rpm, while wind noise is just about noticeable, increasing with speed.Grip from the 245/45 tyres wrapping the 18-inch rims is very good, but a good burst of power can spin the back wheels and break loose the rear, only to regain grip rather quickly. The stability control only interferes in extreme situations, so it is easy to drive the car fast through turns.
