It's not an M3...luckily
It looks like some kind of boy-racery nightmare. Should be on that BMW Nightmare site. Just look at the front end
And as for the engine, 670bhp with that amount of boost pressure for 5 litres is pants....and if you consider the way it won't turn corners due to all the weight at the front...
OK, am I the only one who doesn't think much of this car?

Probably last longer than most Fords though!

X5 V8 for thrills, CRV for chills, Range Rover P38 V8 for sooooo much aggravation...

I wouldn't be surprised with those power figuresZiggy wrote:All what weight at the front btw? 's not exactly a big iron american v8 yaknow...
I guess it's just the styling (or lack of it) I'm not a fan of that got me started on this car....I'll leave the rest of you to admire it in peace

Hmmmm. Wonder why 3 times the boost only gives a 100ish bhp increase in power.
Think the Rover V8's had it's day really. Tiny little power restricting ports and pushrods!
Unless it's one of those AJP V8 engines in which case it's equally wierd. Why design a 2v head when you're starting from scratch?!
Also, why make it a 72degree Vee?

i like the cars exterior but as for the performance bit i agree with zayyan,that realy ain't much for a 5.0 V8 twin turbo. have a look @ www.da-motorsport.com

I remember Max Power did write up on that car a long while back, It was actually at Max Power Live a couple of years back, real beast, but I still reckon my standard 320i could take it............ahem.
