The other big change for the new Spano is the motor under the hood. GTA has gotten rid of the 900 bhp 8.4-liter supercharged V10 engine in favor of an in-house developed 8.0-liter twin turbo V10 engine producing 922 bhp and a whopping 1220 Nm of peak torque (22 bhp and 220 Nm torque increase over the previous car).

With the lightweight body and a powerful engine, the new GTA Spano is capable of doing 0-100 kph in 2.9 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 370 km/h.
