Its relatively light curb weight due in part to aluminum construction, smooth - shifting 8 - speed automatic, and excellent suspension tuning give the XE a stellar performance package.
Rather than just cutting free the front two wheels from the rest of the drivetrain, Lambo engineers have completely retuned the car's suspension — due in part to the lighter overall curbweight.
The curbweight of our test car came out to 2790 lb, which is about 150 lb less than a standard Mustang, due primarily to the fiberglass hood, the lighterweight of the tubular headers and the omission of the rear seat.
