Competition Package:
It sees the standard car fitted with a range of performance-enhancing parts and a new engine calibration that boosts the power figure by 15bhp to 567bhp.
0-62mph time is reduced by 0.1sec to 4.2sec and the 0-124mph time is shaved by 0.2sec.
The springs and damping rate has been increased by 20 per cent, and the anti-roll bars are 15 per cent stiffer. The car sits 10mm lower. The Active M Differential has a standalone control unit, the ESP’s M Dynamic mode allows a greater angle of slip and the steering has a new map to make it 10 per cent more direct than the standard car. An active flap in the exhaust increases noise at high speeds.
