The new engine itself benefits from internal turbochargers housed directly in the exhaust manifolds improving its responsiveness. It is combined with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive system. 0-100 km/h can be completed 0.4 seconds faster than the previous model at 4.1 seconds.

As an option, buyers can fit with a sport exhaust system combined with a switchable sound symposer, reminding the driver of the mountain of power at his disposal by transmitting the V8 sound experience into the interior.
