Engine

The power of the 507-horsepower BMW S85 engine after installing a redesigned cylinder head, sports camshafts and a direct-flow exhaust system increased to 550 hp, and torque to 530 N∙m. It was capable of operating in two modes - normal, in which the power was 400 hp, and “power”, where it was capable of producing all 550 hp. It was possible to switch the operating mode using the “power” key, located right in the center next to the gear shift knob.

The 7-speed SMG robotic gearbox had the ability to operate in three versions. The first option is automatic switching, the second option is the ability to manually switch (up and down) and the third option is the ability to switch using the steering wheel paddles.
