A system that would not disgrace the home of a true connoisseur is standard equipment in a car. But then, what a car. You would expect the 406 Coup to have all of the inherent safety features and handling characteristics of the superb 406 saloon range and it does. But it also has a lot more. Tested and developed in the incredibly demanding environment of Formula 1 racing, these new brakes make a significant contribution to improved safety as does the Multi-link rear suspension which automatically adjusts to the prevailing road conditions for safer handling and control.
Passive safety is equally thorough and effective.
An other safety feature includes an Electrochrome rear view mirror which automatically adjusts for day or night. The pure power and adrenaline rush of the new 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine. Whether you choose the automatic or manual 5-speed gearbox, the effect is electrifying. You may have experienced acceleration like it but only on a white knuckle fairground ride. Put your foot down and you will feel a surge that is quite scintillating with enormous reserves of power to give a top speed of more than twice the legal limit.
