Driving Performance
The components that determine basic driving performance-notably the 4.6-liter V8 gasoline engine, the eight-speed automatic transmission (8 Super ECT), the platform, and the front and rear multi-link suspension-have all been developed afresh to impart characteristics befitting a prestige luxury vehicle of the new age. Additionally, the adoption of VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management) and other advanced electronic control technologies contributes to an incomparably smooth ride.
