Specifications

Engine

• VR-series twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6.

• 480 hp @ 6,400 rpm. 430 lb-ft torque @ 3,200–5,200 rpm.

• Dual overhead camshafts with variable intake-valve timing.

• Cast aluminum cylinder block with high-endurance/low-friction plasma-sprayed bores.

• IHI twin turbochargers, one per cylinder bank.

• Pressurized lubrication system with thermostatically controlled cooling.

Drivetrain

• ATTESA ET-S All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with independent rear-mounted transaxle integrating transmission, differential and AWD transfer case.

• Rigid, lightweight carbon-composite driveshaft between engine and transaxle.

• Electronic traction control plus 1.5-way mechanically locking rear differential.

• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC-R) with three driver-selectable settings: Normal (for daily driving, controls brakes and engine output), R-Mode (for ultimate performance, utilizes AWD torque distribution for additional vehicle stability) and Off (driver does not want the help of the system).

• Hill Start Assist prevents rollback when starting on an incline.

DisclaimerVDC-R cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

Transmission

• 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission with three driver-selectable modes: Normal (for maximum smoothness and efficiency), Snow (for gentler starting and shifting on slippery surfaces), and R mode (for maximum performance with fastest shifts).

• Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

• Dual clutch design changes gears in less than 0.5 second (0.2 second in R mode).

• Downshift Rev Matching.

• Predictive pre-shift control (in R mode) based on throttle position, vehicle speed, braking and other information.

Wheels and Tires

• 20 x 9.5" (front) and 20 x 10.5" (rear) super-lightweight forged-aluminum wheels.

• Exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Bridgestone® RE070A high-capacity run-flat summer tires, 255/40ZRF20 97Y front and 285/35ZRF20 100Y rear.

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Brakes

• Brembo® 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Preview Braking.

• Two-piece floating-rotor 15-inch front and rear discs with diamond-pattern internal ventilation.

• 6-piston front/4-piston rear monoblock calipers.

Steering

• Rack-and-pinion steering with vehicle-speed-sensitive power assist.

• 2.6 steering-wheel turns lock-to-lock.

Suspension

• 4-wheel independent suspension with Bilstein® DampTronic system with three driver-selectable modes: Normal/Sport (for automatic electronic control of damping), Comfort (for maximum ride comfort), and R mode (engages maximum damping rate for high-performance cornering).

• Electronically controlled variable-rate shock absorbers. High-accuracy progressive-rate coil springs.

• Front double-wishbone/rear multi-link configuration with aluminum members and rigid aluminum subframes.

• Hollow front and rear stabilizer bars.

Body/Chassis

• Exclusive Premium Midship platform with jig-welded hybrid unibody.

• Aluminum hood, trunk and door skins. Die-cast aluminum door structures.

• Carbon-reinforced front crossmember/radiator support.
