I am actually quite happy. The B58 is a closed deck inline six with a forged bottom end. It is such a tough block that they do not make any changes between it and the diesel. Similarly, this engine is shared between a ton of cars. This means future support and parts availability will be very...
That is very interesting. Bespoke tires. Hope it’s not like Veyron bespoke. Not willing to pay 20k for tires lol. But I wonder what difference Cup 2’s would make on the lap time.
Hm, I kind of doubt they did it on cup tires or anything. If they were doing laps over and over like they usually do I would assume it would be on the more saleable PS4’s
Ah so if they keep the filter it’s not detuning that’s slowing them down, it’s likely higher back pressure limiting top end efficiency therefore reducing peak horsepower.
See my question is what does the O1 look like? I haven’t seen any clear evidence that states or pictures it as having an actual exhaust manifold. Personally, it doesn’t make sense why BMW would design two two heads all for the sake of just having more power in the U.S? Most integrated headifolds...
