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.
Eni...I hope you're right. But honestly, I hope they don't go all out because that will drive up the cost, a LOT. I hope that the new M3 doesn't cost +60k because here in the states the m3 starts at 48k, so it would really suck if the new car jumps over 10k in price.
