Pros and cons

What’s good
  • Supercar-slaying 405 hp acceleration: Twin-turbo VR30 V6 launches 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds with explosive mid-range overtaking power.
  • Understated sleeper aesthetic: Discrete 400R badging, red Akebono 4-piston sport brake calipers, and 19-inch dark alloy wheels offer stealth road presence.
  • Dynamic Digital Suspension (DDS): Electronically controlled adaptive dampers adjust instantly for flat cornering and stable high-speed highway cruising.
  • Cavernous 500 L boot & luxury cabin: Quilted leather sport seats, Bose Performance Series 16-speaker audio, and dual-touchscreen InTouch infotainment.
What’s not so good
  • Low 135 mm ground clearance: Requires careful navigation over tall estate speed bumps and unpaved access roads in Nairobi.
  • 35% KRA excise duty tax rate: 2,997 cc engine displacement exceeds the 2,500 cc threshold, triggering higher customs duties.
  • High-octane fuel dependency: Requires 98-octane premium unleaded fuel to maintain twin-turbo boost levels reliably without detonation.
