F98 Overview:

Acceleration is excellent (0–100 km/h in 4.2 s). The top speed reaches 250 km/h. A sports activity coupe blending sporty design with functionality. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Even the standard M model provides immense power and rapid acceleration, making it incredibly engaging to drive. The 480 Hp S58 engine offers a potent blend of everyday usability and track capability.
