Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
86 x 86 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
3996 cm³

Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
8
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
782 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
575 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
In this plug-in powertrain the V8 and electric motor share propulsion, the motor covering pull-away and light loads while the engine handles sustained effort. The dual-clutch transmission pre-selects the next gear on its second clutch, so ratio changes interrupt torque only briefly.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
All-wheel drive splits torque across both axles, which matters most on wet or loose surfaces where one axle alone might slip. Parking manoeuvres depend on the automatic's creep behaviour; with an electrified dual-clutch layout, initial crawl is typically managed electrically rather than by clutch slip.
Body and Practicality
The Cabrio body uses a folding roof, so rearward visibility changes with its position: raised, sightlines pass through a smaller rear window framed by thick fabric pillars; lowered, the view opens up while the stowed roof occupies space behind the rear seats.
