Dinan is known to produce cars that go above and beyond the normal range of performance. Their latest production is the M3 that they equipped with a V8 derived 5 liter V10 engine that can also be found in the M5 and M6 and has won a few awards.
The eight replaced the inline-six on the previous model, but instead of remaining content to say “good job on the extra two cylinders”, Dinan asks what happened to the extra two from the V10. Not that they would have been happy with the V10, either. On that, Dinan pushed and pushed, boring and stroking out the engine’s ten cylinders until they got it up to 5.7 liters and 628 horsepower. Pretty sick, but saddled with the heft of a BMW 5 or 6.
Word has it now that Dinan is preparing to shoehorn in its 628-hp concoction into the M3’s engine bay. Thankfully they’ll be lightening it up a little after that, removing some of the bulk from the front end in order to keep the weight balance in check.
