I have read that it will come witha 400Hp V8 complete with 8200 RPM redline.

Should be a nice car. An M3 is no Prosche turbo though.

I don't like the rear fender flares on a street car. It looks more appropriate for a race track car to me. Too tacky and cheapo looking in my book.
I can stomach the remainder that's shown. What will the back look like?

Who cares if it looks scary... with only 400hp it'll still get it's *** kicked and eaten by Porsches.

Probably would smoke a NA 997 in a straight line, but no match for a TT. At roughly $25k less than a NA 997, it is awsome performance for the money.

Yea. It'll get its *** kicked by Ferraris, Lambos, SLR, Zonda, and yadayada too. But what's the point? A TT can get it's *** kicked too, even a GT2, when they venture too far beyond their price point.

However, Bimmer can rightfully claim to beat everything else in its class hands down in terms of badge, looks, and performance. It'll even give the entry-level Porsches like Boxters and 996/997's strong run for their money.

As a bonus, you can take 3 girls out instead of just 1. That's a bargain!

That car looks so damn good it hurts. Makes all Porsches look positively tame.

I hope that's what it's going to be. If so, like others have confessed, it's mine. Titanium silver and black interior, pls.
