It combines a 408hp 3.8-litre flat six engine with intelligent all-wheel-drive that delivers a further exhilarating dimension to the dynamics of the iconic rear-engined sports car.
The supercar is fitted as standard with a six-speed manual transmission and the coupe sprints from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds, the cabriolet does it in 4.8 seconds. The coupe returns 26.9 mpg for the combined cycle and emits 247g/km C02. The 320 Nm of torque comes in from as low as 1,500 rpm, but peak torque of 420 Nm comes in from 4,200-5,600 rpm.
The model broadens customer choice in 2011, building on the success of the 2WD Carrera GTS that went on sale last December.
