This legendary sports car hasn't stopped progressing over the years, and multiple versions are offered. In addition to its trademark silhouette, another factor remains unchanged: the rear engine design, a unique feature that always set this model apart. While this year's basic version is powered by a 3.4-litre 6-cylinder flat engine, all the other variants are equipped with the 3.8-litre 6-cylinder flat engine, turbocharged or not.
