SystemGap
powertrainNo spark-ignition combustion model: CRE8VIRTUAL's engine model is the OM651 diesel, so this engine stands on its published ratings.
powertrainNo turbocharger model for the twin turbos.
powertrainThe ten-speed's tooth counts are not in the sources read, so no gearbox model; its ratios stand as printed.
powertrainNo shift map, torque management or launch control: the performance layer shifts at rated speed under full throttle.
bodyNo published drag coefficient or measured frontal area, so road load runs on assumed values until a coastdown is read.
bodyNo 2024 specification sheet was reachable: dimensions, mass, chassis and ratios come from the 2021 and 2026 sheets of the same generation.
electricalNo alternator rating, battery capacity or cranking amps published in the sources read.
suspensionNo spring or damper rates.
