Figures quoted include a 90 % tank filling, 68 kg for the driver and 7 kg for luggage. Unladen
weight applies to vehicles with standard specification. Optional equipment may increase this
figure.
2
The petrol engine is designed for RON 98 fuel. It may be run on RON 95 fuel, with a decrease
in power.
3
The 8-cylinder V engine meets the EU5 emissions standard. Fuel consumption is determined
in accordance with the ECE driving cycle, specified by RL 80/1268/EC. This is made up of
approximately one third urban and two thirds extra-urban driving (based on the distance
covered). CO2 emissions are measured in addition to fuel consumption. Fuel consumption
figures are based on vehicles with standard equipment. Optional equipment (such as broader
tyres) can have a significant impact on fuel consumption.

Electronically limited.
