According to info I have S85 V10 engine is able of more than 400kW - more than 544HP.
And it will be offered in CS / CSL M5 & M6.
So around 109HP/L.
Which leads us to 435HP for 4.0L V8. But since M3 always gets creme-de-la-creme engines, I wouldn't be surprised if they could squeeze 460HP out of it (in CSL version).
So this paired with aggressive gearbox, killer suspension, ultralightweight material used, amazing steering the new M3 will be a new benchamrk in its class. Mind: BMW have Porsche 911 & AM V8 in mind as M3 coupe competitors this time. |
