For the 2014 model year, the rear wheel-drive coupe-cabriolet has undergone a minor facelift that focussed primarily on the front and tail ends, as well as the dashboard. It takes less than 20 seconds to deploy the hard top. Cargo capacity goes from 310 to 180 litres with the top down. Under its very long hood, the basic version comes with a 2.0L 241-hp four-cylinder turbo or two in-line six-cylinders that generate 300 and 335 horsepower.
