BMW M1. All details

The official premiere of a novelty will pass in January on the Detroit Auto Show, and before start of sales there is more half a year, but the full information on the future sport car became known already now. Guiding price in the West — 45 000 euros. For the car possessing almost that super car abilities, it is rather inexpensive. It's heart — 3-liter bi-turbo motor, developing 340 h.p. and 450 Nm which are accessible practically from single turns (beginning from 1 500 rpm). And the engine has a mode overboost, allowing quickly to increase pull-rod by 11 %. This power unit is borrowed at flagman version of roadster Z4. In comparison with the present most powerful version 135i — the chassis BMW M1 is seriously processed. The track is expanded on 7,1 sm in front and on 4,6 sm behind. Now front and rear wheels stand on one line, while at younger versions a front track already. The ground clearance is depressed on 2 sm.

At parallel start with М3 the novelty will lose only 0,1 sec in dispersal to hundred. Dispersal at charged one occupies 4,9 sec. And at hard braking the difference between them will be, seemingly, even less appreciable. At both sport cars identical brakes — 360-millimetric disks in front and 340-millimetric disks behind.

In turning movements the differential steered electronics, capable to vary a pull-rod vector should provide excellent habits. As a whole the novelty should be pleasant to admirers former classical М3 which believe that present 3 became unduly heavy, and motor V8 for it heavy. М1 compact, brisk, and as extremely fast.
