(13 May 05) As a result, power increases from 217bhp to 256bhp. Top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, and the 0-62mph time is 7.7 seconds. Combined fuel economy is similar to that of the three-litre at 28.8mpg. The only gearbox option, at least to begin with, will be the excellent Multitronic Continuously Variable Transmission, driving to the front wheels. There's a choice of body styles, though, with normal- and long-wheelbase versions. Prices are £47,930 for the standard car and £51,300 for the long-wheelbase one. Orders are being taken now, and UK deliveries are expected to start in July. |
