Petrol V8 with combined fuel use around 13-15 l/100 km depending on engine size.
Service every 12 months or 10,000 miles.
No Euro NCAP crash test rating published.
Standard dual-stage front airbags, side airbags, ABS, DSC, traction control and deploying rollover bars.
The V8 runs on petrol from an 80-litre tank. Official combined consumption sits near 15 l/100 km on early 4.3-litre cars and improves slightly on later 4.7-litre versions, with matching CO2 figures in the 300-plus g/km range.
Factory servicing follows a 12-month or 10,000-mile interval. Oil and filter changes form the core of each visit, with brake fluid, filters and other items added at set mileages.
Safety kit centres on dual-stage driver and passenger airbags plus side airbags, electronic stability and traction control, ABS with brake assist, and automatically deploying rollover protection. The bonded aluminium structure adds inherent strength. No official star rating exists from crash testing bodies.
Regular dealer or specialist attention keeps the car in good order. The aluminium body and V8 respond well to consistent maintenance, though parts and labour remain premium.
