Pros
  • Still front engine RWD
  • Down to 4.2s 0-100kph time
  • Up to 560hp of power and 680Nm of torque
  • Rather good styling
  • Lots of power and torque
  • Improved transmission
  • Good double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup

  • Great fit and finish
Cons
  • Manual only available in the USA
