Buying Advice

As you'd expect from a luxury sports car like this, it has a massive engine, but few standard safety features. When you're buying one for yourself, we recommend you opt-in for the US Visibility Equipment which includes Front & Rear Parking Cameras, AFS Advanced Front-lighting System, headlight control, etc.
