That's insane, love it  :evilgrin:

I'd like to see that against a Turbo S with PDK or a GTR in a straight line.
Or, against the M3 round a track!

Pete I reckon the A1 would beat both the GTR and Porsche, the A1 being alot lighter and with 500bhp what would it take to match it :scared:

The short wheelbase is going to make it pretty twitchy in corners though :scared:

Nope, I'm with you, the ingredients don't add up, regardless of the engine.

After reading this months Evo about the new BMW 528i/328i being in-line four turbos,
does it mean the end of 5 and 6 cylinders where things like the 2.5TFSI and straight 6
block are concerned too? I do think it's a massive, massive shame should it be the case

Why that?

It does mean the end of non-turbo straight six at BMW.  :wink:

Sadly in future there won't be 325i or 330i straight six anymore
due to politics and marketing based on CO² and milage.

Sadly why?

The newer engines give better economy and better performance. The only downside is noise, and that can be engineered (new M5 for example).
