We already know the motor is good for over 1,000hp. But what are the limits of the axles and the clutches? And for us xDrive people, the transfer case, and front axles.

Probably the driveshaft, I watched a low 10 second X3M at the drag strip yesterday break theirs on a launch.
Here's a photo of the carnage. |
I don't think the stock transmission will be able to hold 1000 rwhp. I'm not too familiar with the G80 but it sounds like the same or close to it compared the hellcat.
I blew my tranny in hellcat. I did have to put a one piece aluminum driveshaft to avoid what happened to the X3M. |
The stock trans will definitely not hold 1000hp reliably but if you get it built at PURE Drivetrain Solutions it will. I believe I saw they built one capable of 1400hp already for a G80. I though I saw that Hellcats use ZF Torque Converters as well or if that just the track hawks?
