For $600k it should be a halo car like a hybrid i8 with S55 engine making 1000hp!

A manual car with retro styling and wild design is worth something always. Not everyone wants the latest and greatest some people want something more special

That's the point though, a bespoke vehicle would be more special than something sharing the platform of crossovers and sedans. It would make sense at a lower price point, but at well above a half-million dollars its a completely different segment.

This is basically where my research falls flat: I don't know how a car will look, and I can't predict how a car will ultimately be named. It's possible in this specific case BMW intentionally used a temporary name during the development process. Again, I hope to know soon if this is the same or a different car. Though for betting purposes I'd pick "same". |

The M4 CSL is looking to push $200k and I think that's crazy. Reminds me of the M4 GTS craze, how did that work out…

The misleading 3 = BMW Motorsport; not 3=US GT = GT Development Variant (Transaxle arrangement) H: References to Hommage, Homologation, and Hybrid have been used; all 3 would be accurate. Transmission MAN = Automated Conventional Manual |

Ok, to please the old and the new, for $600k, I want a mid engine homage to the 1M with DINAN 4.6L stroker S65 V8 with a 6 speed manual transition. Carbon fiber tub/frame/panels. Updated carbon fiber M4 GTS wheels. Weight around 3000lbs. Stock tires 275 front and 315/325 rear. Optional aero (go stealth 911R or all out Vette ZR1). Any colors are included, NO standard colors, all unique. Interior has a nice sound system. I know you want to hear the car but if there will be speakers then please make them not be shitty. Oh, and European f*uckin pick up!!
Is that too much to ask???

Some kind or KERS system or MHEV maybe? That’s how it manages to get to 600 hp from the CSL’s 540hp? I believe MHEVs with manuals do exist but in a track level performance car of this magnitude, must be the first!? Last edited by solstice; 05-13-2022 at 02:35 AM.. |
