Is BMW simply going in the wrong direction ?
Cf Lotus' philosophy and Gordon Murray's latest supercar !
Even Chris Harris is trouncing Ferrari for this:
Even 100, 200 or even 500 extra horsepower on the M3/M4 will not change the laws of physics and its weight.
BMW: please refocus on the CSL concept - L is for Leicht ie Light... |
Some of his complaints were around how it sends its power around too - he does make mention that if it was RWD only it might be better. The 812 Superfast is still my favourite Ferrari for that reason
