A supercharged V8 in a front mid-engine layout, dry-sump lubrication, and AMG Speedshift define its character. 460 kW and 780 Nm deliver effortless thrust: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 s, 0 to 200 km/h in 10.6 s, 0 to 300 km/h in 28.8 s. Top speed: 334 km/h. Two water-cooled charge-air coolers stabilise performance, while the side pipes keep the underbody airflow clean.
More information
The 5.5-liter V8 engine sits far back and low in the front of the car. This lowers the center of gravity and improves balance on fast tracks as well as under hard braking. At its heart is a mechanical screw-type supercharger with a Teflon coating, whose rotors spin at up to 23,000 rpm and deliver up to 0.9 bar of boost pressure. The supercharger is controlled by an electromagnetic clutch, which engages it only when power is actually needed. This ensures that power delivery remains spontaneous yet efficient.
Back
A smooth underbody, six-channel diffuser, and adaptive rear wing create downforce and stability. From 95 km/h, the spoiler deploys automatically, and under full braking it acts as an air brake. The side-exit exhaust outlets keep the airflow beneath the car unobstructed.

The shape was conceived from the outset as an aerodynamic system. A virtually closed underbody guides the airflow cleanly to the rear, while the six-channel diffuser generates negative lift without excessive drag. The exhaust system exits laterally from the front wheel arch to keep the underbody smooth and prevent airflow disruption beneath the vehicle.
The rear spoiler operates in multiple stages and automatically. At speeds above 95 km/h, it assumes an angle of approximately ten degrees, thus increasing rear axle downforce. Under heavy braking, it extends to around 65 degrees, acting as an airbrake and shifting the aerodynamic center of gravity rearward.

Pure and high-quality: carbon-fibre seat shells with interchangeable cushion modules, chronometer instruments, an aluminium centre console, and “Silver Arrow” leather. A sporty seating position, clear controls, and surprisingly strong long-distance comfort.
More information
The interior follows a clear concept: maximum focus without compromising on quality. The carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) seat shells are conceptually derived from motorsport and save approximately a quarter of the weight compared to conventional seats. Upholstery modules in several widths allow for individual adjustment to the upper body and hips. The electric adjustment system links seat height, longitudinal position, and angle; the backrest is deliberately set in a sporty position at approximately 28 degrees.
