The engineers from Affalterbach used a new cylinder head with optimized passages, a new camshaft and an intercooler. The auxiliary electric compressor now operates almost constantly and develops a power of up to 7.5 kW (versus the previous 5.0 kW), which provides lightning-fast response to the throttle pedal. Paired with the engine is a 9-speed automatic transmission.
