Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to transmit force; leaks can reduce braking efficiency.

Brake fade

When brakes overheat, their effectiveness can diminish, leading to longer stopping distances.

Abs malfunctions

Standard Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) systems can sometimes have issues with the Anti-lock Braking System, causing it to engage improperly.

Brake pad wear

Regular use leads to wear on brake pads, which can reduce braking performance and cause noise.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder is crucial for hydraulic systems; if it fails, braking power can be severely compromised.

Engine overheating

High horsepower (410 hp) engines can generate significant heat, potentially leading to overheating if not adequately cooled.

Oil consumption

V-shaped, 8-cylinder engines can sometimes consume more oil, requiring frequent monitoring and top-ups.

Spark plug issues

V8 engines have more spark plugs that can wear out or foul, leading to misfires and reduced performance.

Timing chain/belt wear

With a complex engine configuration, components like the timing chain or belt can wear out, affecting engine timing.

Fuel injector problems

V-shaped engines can suffer from clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.
