With a top speed of 149mph, it's not the quickest.
But, it is one of the most expensive cars available on the market.

Mercedes-Benz G Class, £127,000
As status symbols go for sports stars, the Mercedes-Benz G class is up there.
Footballers love them, and celebrities too – with Kylie Jenner credited with starting the early trend back in 2016.
Officially called the G63 AMG, it is spacious and leggy enough for Ngannou to stretch his 6ft4in frame.
Performance-wise, it has a 5.5-liter Biturbo V8 engine that produces 563 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque.
It can reach 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds.
Ferrari 488 GTB, £184,000
Back in 2021, Ngannou paid a visit to Exotics Racing in Las Vegas, Nevada.
They offer a supercar driving experience on a large race track, where you can pick from an astonishing fleet.
The sports star squeezed himself into a Ferrari 488 GTB, possibly with a plan to try it for size for a future buy or as recommended by pal Cristiano Ronaldo.
Francis would have found that this Ferrari is capable of reaching 0-60 in a meagre three seconds.
It is propelled by a 3.9 litre V8 engine, 661bhp and 560lb ft of torque.
Toyota Outlander, £57,000
As part of a promotional visit, Ngannou dropped into Las Vegas' Johnny Legends Mitsubishi dealership.
There, he took a particular shine to their popular SUV, the Outlander.
In a cute video online, Ngannou and a little girl talk about the car and why its ideal for them.
Now, the Outlander is known as the Highlander on our shores.
