This unit is based on a brand new engine family that will debut in the coming years. With this car’s hybrid bits factored into the equation maximum system output totals 550 ponies and 553 lb-ft of torque.

Under normal driving conditions power is routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels but up to 50 percent of the available torque can be sent forward if necessary. The driver can even manually engage all-wheel drive if they prefer.
Size-wise this is a very large car. It’s a whisker longer than 199 inches; it’s around 79 inches wide. This means it’s ever-so-slightly shorter than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class but a little bit broader.
