In factory specification, peak output is rated at 89.9 HP (65.6 kW) at 8,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94 Nm (69.3 lb-ft) at 5,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 84.5 HP per liter and a 2,800 rpm working window between peak torque (5,400 rpm) and peak power (8,200 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
