With a curb weight of 1650kg, the car is capable of rocketing to 62mph in 2.5 seconds and on beyond 200mph yet it also has a range under purely electric propulsion, of up to 250km.

Its long, sweeping bonnet and low rear overhang provide perfect balance with outstanding road-holding to ensure an exhilarating driving experience
