Additionally, the vehicle undercuts its closest competitor by 193 kg.

All of this put together contributes to improving the performance of the car on tough turns.
The 750S is equipped with a powerful 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine that can produce up to 740 bhp and a torque output of 800Nm. This is more powerful than the legendary P1.
