Vehicle equipment
All standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐

vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional
equipment or country variant. This also applies
for safety-related functions and systems.
V8 high-performance engine
The high-performance V8 engine gets maxi‐
mum power of 412 kW and maximum torque of
680 Nm from a displacement of 4.4 liters. With
its spontaneous response behavior, a speed
range of wide utility results. The maximum en‐

controlled. Because of the high engine dynam‐
ics, the maximum engine speed with the vehi‐
cle stationary is progressively deactivated after
a short time.
Warmup
During the engine warmup phase, the V8 high-
performance engine has a somewhat rougher

When the engine is cold, the exhaust system
has a slightly metallic undertone due to the na‐

For more information about the warmup proce‐

Compound brake
The vehicle has a high-performance brake sys‐

Because of particular structural characteristics,
there may be operation-related noises during
braking. However, this has no effect on per‐

of the brake.
Correct braking
To keep the brake system in optimum condi‐
