Manifold is partially integrated in the head itself. Pretty common in latest generation turbo engines from many manufacturers (civic type r, vw gti, toyota ar-series)

Porsche tax is real though. Sure, turbos can be stupid fast, but it will cost serious money. And god forbid something goes seriously wrong. That´s why the MkV Supra is in a unique position. It may be a Cayman S challenger in stock form, but the aftermarket will probably take it to 911 turbo...

I believe he says that in the sense that the car from the factory has to be a balanced product. That does not conflict with the fact that when you buy it you can do whatever you want. 500hp with stock brakes, suspension and tires? Sure, it will be common in a few months, but it would never come...

Keyboard CEO`s, just what the world needs.

Poor ZF8... hopefully it will endure :eek:

>330whp is what most were expecting, as this has been almost universal with turbo BMW powerplants. But the big news is this engine is a torque monster! We just have the HP scale on the screenthot, but making some approximations, it`s churning around 250lb-ft at 1500rpms, and 400 at 2000rpms...

It’s not a replacement. It’s a different version of the same car. It will be faster, and more expensive. Think GT3 versus base 911.

Sorry, repost. Mods delete please.

Each and every reviewer so far: "It drives great". Additionally most say: It feels faster than specs suggest. Price is right. Looks cool. Comfortable to drive on the street. Capable on track. Most complaints are focused on two (understandable) issues: Lots of BMW parts, no manual transmission...

You´re underestimating the internet collective complaining capacity by several orders of magnitude.

As I mentioned, all data from the same source: C&D instrumented test.

Killer performance for the price. We knew this was going to happen. With aftermarket support ths will be an amazing platform. Comparison using C&D tests:

So, they’re definetly racing the 24h...

It ended 3rd out of 6 in the SP8T class. Not bad. Best laptime was 10 min 47 seconds. This is for the full Nordschleife plus the modern GP (F1) circuit which is an additional 5.2kms, so you cannot compare to the typical internet "Nurburgring" laptime. At this early stage of development, I´m...

They´re not being cheap. Porsche is using it too. Natural fibers explained: " At the Daytona reveal of the new GT4, Eduard Ene, Porsche Motorsport's composites expert, told us that producing the raw materials to make natural fiber takes 75 percent less energy than carbon fiber. Ene also pointed...

Although labeled a “prototype” they have been testing it for a while (sans aero) and looks quite production-ready.

Sport Auto is the reference for Nordschleife lap timing, for many reasons: pro drivers, real showroom stock cars, consistent metodology, among others. It`s a full course lap, and the closest to an apples to apples comparison we will ever get. Z4: 7.55,41 (EU version, 342hp, 3,443lbs) M2C...

Revhard turbo kit! that´s old school :D Quite a significant ex-Honda crowd here apparently? B series engines are cool, I still have a 1800lbs B18 EG6 track racer with 218whp@9000rpms, and currently building a Dart block turbo "unlimited" CRX. Plus a stock B16B EK9 which is slow as balls.

Not something you really want to look at
