mattanna Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I know i keep doing the odd post about new cars but there seem to be some bad ass ones coming out, the new M3 out early next year is to have a 4 litre v8 producing 415bhp, and sits standard on 19 inch rims, again normally aspirated, no performance figs yet but i bet it will fly, at this rate we will all have to go single!!lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattanna Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 ...and in Supra chat?! It is relevant to warn supra drivers of the potential pitfalls awaiting them:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Whats the torque figures? and the curb weight? Either way im sure it'll be damn quick.... If it weighs around the same as the previous M3 and with that power it will probably leave BPU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattanna Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 was on top gears site, has been spotted on a test run so no definite figures yet, but based on current 3 series coupe, the new 335i twin turbo one does 0-62 in 5.2 sec so this will be quicker than that by some margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 oh yeah. here. It's old news that the next M3 will be a V8, but it's good to have some power figures. Also on the TopGear site.. this is just cool: http://www2.css-networks.com/civictyper.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 New Civic Type R I guess. New M3 sounds nice, but what do you expect, the last one was quick and required some mods to beat it comfortably, now with a nice revving V8 you're gonna have to up the ante again.

2jzhead Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 AH HA early August, we brought you 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for the new BMW 335i coupe. Automobile magazine said it managed to complete the sprint to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and Germany's Auto Zeitung took 5.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62 mph). Now, the lead-footed testers at Car and Driver say they've managed to set a 0-60 time of just 4.9 seconds in the 335i. That's 0.1 of a second slower than the current BMW M3. In its October issue, the magazine says the figures are "almost exactly the same as the numbers posted by the last M3 we tested." While the old M3 is due to be replaced by a V8 version of the new 3er in the coming months, it's clear the 335 will be quite a bargain at jusst $40,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Even the 335i will be enough to worry a standard Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Even the 335i will be enough to worry a standard Supra I like the idea of turbo BMW, up the boost a bit and I am sure it will kill the M3 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Not too sure about the modding potential of that, the turbos are small and the ali block is fairly high compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You know what the mad thing is? i was there when them pics were taken LOL i was at the nurburgring when they was testing it and there was loads of spys taking pics when it pulled up and parked What i will say is this one is no NA its a turbo'd or some say twin turbo'd car and has a nice FMIC I asked the driver about it but he wouldnt say anything other than they were mapping it for production.
