Two special exhaust manifolds with integrated larger turbochargers have been added in addition to four water-to-air intercoolers. All the modifications have resulted in a total 788 horsepower and 1,047 lb-ft. of torque. The torque is unfortunately electronically limited to 811 lb-ft.
The 800 E V12 Cabriolet reaches 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and only takes 9.9 seconds to reach 124 mph. It has a top speed of 231 mph.
If you want the “world’s fastest four-seater convertible” it won’t come cheap. It’s listed at 478,000 euros, which is about $680k.
