[Mai Nate] BMW

[Touareg 2.5]

Ancora non son persenti foto, ma BMW ha produtto una M6 CSL che non ha mai raggiunto la produzione ed una X5M prima serie che ha fatto la stessa fine :

A CSL version of the outgoing bmw M6 was fully developed before being axed, the firm has revealed.

The M6 CSL coupe was rejected by the BMW board as it didn't make sense as a business case.

It is now part of BMW M's classic collection, shown in full to journalists today for the first time.

Features included active aerodynamics (focused on the floor ), a 100kg weight saving programme, an upgraded power output and a new aero package.

Another car revealed for the first time today is a rear-wheel drive M version of the first-gen X5. This car was never made as BMW decided its X-badged cars had to be all-wheel-drive, something that's no longer the case as its sells rear-drive versions of the X1.

It was powered by a V8 engine mated to an smg gearbox and was "well received" in customer clinics, BMW claims, but was ultimately rejected.

Ecco la M8

BMW's V12 engine from the McLaren F1 was originally developed for an M8 version of the 8-series in 1990 that was never put into production, BMW’s M-division has revealed.

The V12 was based around two 6cyl engines from the M3 at the time and it proved to be instantly reliable in tests of the 8-series.

Although the M8 and its V12 engine were fully developed and production ready having been signed off in test vehicles, the car was never signed off by BMW management, despite M's insistence.

The engine produces around 550bhp in the M8 and had "stunning performance figures", according to M personnel.

The engine was then used as the basis for the McLaren F1 road car and Le Mans winner and also found a home in BMWs own sports prototype Le Mans winner in 1999.

It then went on to feature in a first generation X5 with over 700bhp, a 6-spd manual box and a 300kph (186mph) top speed, but this car never saw production either.

BMW wanted to put it in the outgoing M5 to celebrate 25 years of the M5 but it proved to be too big for the engine bay.

Queste sono le cose che piuù mi incuriosiscono, e penso anche a te. Sarà un po' l'anima da Scoop-Insider ma vorrei tanto vedere i garages segreti di tanti altri marchi.

Eh a chi lo dici...

sopratutto dei progetti anche più vecchi che poi per un motivo o per un altro non hanno messo "ruote" in strada.
