Top speed continues to be limited to 155 mph, but with a range of new fuel saving features, including an electro - mechanical steering system in
place of the older hydraulically operated setup used before, combined cycle consumption has improved by 5.4 mpg at an official 24.2 mpg on the European test cycle.
Thanks to the sweetness
of old - fashioned,
hydraulically assisted steering (as opposed to the newer, less sensitive electronic power steering set - ups) it's dead easy to
place the nose
of the car because you get the feedback through the steering wheel to know exactly what the front tyres are doing.
