The Roadster MPS features the BP-VE engine, a
naturally aspirated, in-line 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine. For faster throttle
response and higher output, four independently actuated throttle valves and high-lift
camshafts were adopted, yielding a piston speed of 19.8m/second, maximum output
of 147kW (200PS) at 7,000rpm and maximum torque of 196Nm (20.0kg-m) at 6,000rpm. |
The chassis is designed to expand the performance envelope during
active dynamic driving, while maintaining comfortable relaxed cruising in urban
areas. The combination of height-adjustable mono-tube dampers and coil springs,
and new-construction 17-inch tires assures superb grip in all driving situations,
resulting in improved handling performance and greater ride comfort for stress-free
motoring. Front and rear suspension mounting points are further reinforced with
a large-sized lightweight aluminum ladder underbody reinforcement for enhanced
rigidity. |
