More performance, and looks that should scare off the competition
What’s Under the Hood
A turbocharged 2.5-liter four-banger producing 305 hp @ 6000 rpm and 290 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm lives under the hood, featuring dual overhead cams and 16 valves. Drivers with mad clutch skills will likely have some fun ripping through the manual transmission’s six cogs, especially when the SI-DRIVE system’s more aggressive setting is selected. The S# (Sport Sharp) setting provides the most immediate dump of full power, S (Sport) doles out power in a more linear fashion, and the I (Intelligent) mode cuts maximum power in the name of efficiency.
