1.6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 now produces 15hp more at 575hp and can run on gasohol with ethanol content of up to 85% (E85).


2.Overall weight has been reduced by 65kg, thanks to lighter seats, aluminium front wings and boot lid.

3.All-wheel-drive now has 40:60 rear-biased torque split in place of 50:50 distribution to reduce understeer.

4.Front and rear tracks have been increased to improve grip and stability. There's a four-step adaptive suspension for the driver to choose from.

5.20-inch wheels are standard; options include 21-inchers and carbon-ceramic cross-drilled disc brakes.

6.Revised six-speed automatic has shift times cut by 50% and enables double downshifts. As ever, there are paddle-shifters on the steering wheel.
