The front-mounted mid-engine is in a low position behind the front axle. The double-clutch transmission is located at the rear axle (transaxle principle). They are connected by the drive shaft, made of high-rigidity, extremely light carbon fibre, rotating in the torque tube.

This is the technical secret behind optimum weight distribution of 47% at the front and 53% at the rear. The torque tube, V8 engine and transmission system are connected with high bending resistance and torque rigidity to create a single fixed unit. The drive shaft (1.71 metres long and only 4 kg in weight) rotates in line with engine revs and transfers up to 650 Nm of torque from the engine to the transmission. For pleasant driving and noise comfort, a specially developed torsional damper is located in the torque tube to eliminate oscillation and vibration.
