TRANSMISSION AND POWERTRAIN
FEEL EVERY CORNER
Unforgettable performance. Arrowing through corners at pulse-quickening speeds. Next-generation torque shaping working with the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Intelligently tailoring traction. Pinpointing grip more precisely. Weaving power through an automatic ZF 8-speed transmission. Delivering explosive in-gear acceleration through a shorter final drive ratio (3.083:1).
OBSESSION WITH PRECISION
Operating in total unison with the latest generation ESC system, the Electronic Rear Differential (E-diff) adapts its behavior according to the approaching demands of the road – from the challenges of a relentless switchback alpine road to the cosseted curves of a country road. Helping the Roadster to rotate into tighter turns and exploit its razor-sharp yet composed front-end response. Inspiring confidence through high-speed bends where stability is crucial.
