There’s also the option of a pair of extra seats in the boot, or a 1700-watt, 23-speaker stereo for the ultimate surround sound experience.

The former will be the cleanest engine from launch, but a hybrid model will be available to order next year. Petrol fans ‘make do’ with a 503bhp supercharged V8. All engines get stop-start as standard and all are available to order now, with first deliveries in the summer.
