Powertrain and Performance
What a name, huh? And what a track toy the MCXtrema is. It has the MC20’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 which has been spruced up by MCX-specific turbochargers and now produces a whopping 730 horsepower. The monstrous powertrain is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox with a garage clutch.
