The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine has been modified to produce a peak output of 493bhp and 660Nm on both variants, which is an increase of 40bhp and 40Nm from the previous model. Additionally, the 8-speed automatic transmission has been updated to provide faster shift times, especially in the Sport and Sport Plus drive modes.
