Sports Coupe
For a new generation of automotive exhilaration
, the luxury sports coupe transcends the divide between nimble performance and well appointed luxury cars.
While incorporating the latest in automotive innovation and efficiency, these agile two-door vehicles deliver a sporty performance along with a high degree of interior luxury.
Sports Style and Design
The exterior style of the sports coupe is crafted with a high attention to detail. Tailor-made for those who are not only inspired by design but also for those with a passion for exciting sports cars.
Short overhangs at the front and rear, accentuated wheel arches and clearly visible tailpipes create athletic side views along with a muscular rear. This all radiates the pure self-confidence of the luxury sports coupe.
It is this combination of timeless aesthetics and functional design which carries over into the interior where very detail is pure quality; from the shoulder line and rounded air vents, to the sports leather steering wheel. Inside and out, the sports coupe evokes and feeling of pure sporty elegance.
Sports Power and Efficiency
A high degree of efficiency comes directly from the frame of a contemporary sports coupe. The aluminium used for the frame is much lighter and offers greater design freedom for castings and extruded sections than steel.
The construction principle of a high-strength aluminium frame structure permits sporty handling coupled with reduced consumption. Even the components made from it exhibit high rigidity with the result that these vehicles offer high crash protection while also being substantially lower in weight.
Greater safety, increased performance, improved handling, lower fuel consumption and ease of repair of these frames all contribute to the driving experience.
The engines in these vehicles have been specially developed for the requirements of the sports coupe. The crank drive, cylinder head and inlet valves, among other things, have been modified for exhilarating power. An improved air intake system and exhaust system, together with a performance-optimised turbocharger enable the sports coupe to fully utilise its potential.
The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber in the precise quantities required. This enables engine efficiency to be increased while still ensuring exceptional power delivery. These engines are available in both petrol and diesel versions.
Sports Innovation and Technology
Magnetic ride technology allows drivers of the new sports coupe to choose between comfortable and sporty driving modes. Using magnetic fields, drivers can adjust the firmness of the dampers to the current driving situation and to suit their personal tastes.
A control unit computes the optimum damping force and is able to increase or decrease that force within a fraction of a second. The suspensions damping forces are continuously adjusted resulting in agility and more direct feedback from the road in the sports mode, while the normal mode helps to eliminate driver fatigue by focusing on comfort.
An investment in practical, athletic elegance, the sports coupe seamlessly incorporates progressive design alongside lightning performance, luxury comfort and an enhanced sense of style.
