We are happy to hear BMW will be re-introducing the M3 CSL. It will be the first one we have seen since 2004. The new CSL will be a high performance and lightweight car that will be able to save 100 kilograms over the stock M3. This is possible with the use of carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
The new CSL will be getting new suspension, better tires, and few engine upgrades that could raise the horsepower by 50. This increase could enable it to rev from 0 to 62 mph close to 4.5 seconds.
BMW’s new M6 Hurricane is getting the same treatment as the M5 – which means that it will be given the same G-power 5.0 liter V10 engine that makes it such a great ride. The new engine has been set for a low 6 psi compared to the 10 psi in the M5 – but it still has the ability to produce 635 bhp at 7300 rpm.
CAR magazine has an exclusive interview with Herbert Diess – a BMW board member for the July edition. In the interview the executive states that the M1 Hommage concept is going in to production. Diess says, “We have the know-how, we have the right engine, we even have the infrastructure to build such a car.”
