Default World's fastest BMW

http://www.motorauthority.com/g-powe...top-speed.html

750hp and 0-100km/h in only 4.4 seconds? Something's not right. 370km/h top speed is nice tho.

BMW K1300R does 0-100 in 2.8 seconds, but it has two wheels :-)
And costs about 24k.

That's insanely awesome if it's true. Still curious as to whether the figures shown are actually correct though!

4.4 seconds is probably because no traction, to conserve the tires, or to conserve the gearbox. Long ratio gearbox too


but damn, look at the M5 pics below it. full carbon fibre. They share the same engine

noice, very noice. i'll take the M6 in grey and the M5 with a coat of matt black on the CF. It actually reminds me of the Brabus Bullit another insane car from ze germans.
