Saw some pics this morning but couldn't get on the forum to post about it.

That is some serious power from a 2.0L :smiley:

I really like it :happy2:

Same here, read about this this morning.  I like the bit about the engine is individually handbuilt by an allocated engineer from start to finish.

I'd have that over a 135 that's for certain... Looks superb, but wonder how much one of these with a double clutch is?  :popcornsoda:

My thoughts are, who ever chose the music for the vid should be strung up by his knackers.  :fighting:

Any idea on price for this? Will it be priced to compete with the GTI or more likely the R?

£35k I read.

I really like it, and reading how they've adapted Haldex and built the chassis really impresses me. I think the AMG will be more aimed at the 'if and when' new 1M & RS3, rather than M135i? Be interesting to see how they compare though.

Note how engine is nice and far back in the bay, lots of it behind the front axle. Turbo looks like it's off a cross channel ferry, look at the downpipe!!!!

Ditch the cheesy music in the ad and let me hear the engine..

Ditch the cheesy turbo badge on the back I'd have to debadge it

According to the telegraph prices will start at £32,000.

I'd take one over the ugly M135i anyday..
