The fuel tank is sufficient for a range of 708 kilometres. Compared to the version with a V8 engine and the model with a W12 engine, the car has become 100 kilograms lighter. This has allowed for better weight distribution, and consequently improved dynamic performance. It is also possible to use four cylinders out of eight to save fuel and reduce emissions. Four cylinders are deactivated in 20 milliseconds.
