Gearbox
The car has an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and an electric motor for rear-wheel drive. The number of gear changes means that the engine's torque and power range can be used effectively. Two of the gears are overdrive gears that save fuel when driving at constant engine speed. Using the steering wheel paddles* it is possible to shift up or down manually. The driver display shows which gear position is currently in use.
