Won't happen. The AMG GT is has mid-front engine layout, it has dry sump engine, it has transaxle transmission. I don't recall any production BMW ever having dry sump lubrication or transaxle transmission. Toyota on the other hand did that with the LFA, so if they keep that recipe for the FT-1 production car, BMW might also profit from that, and only then it can be a real AMG GT or 911 contender. |
BMW is the master of weight distribution. Let's not forget that this engine was flat out copied from BMW with the positioning of the turbo chargers. Just because they haven't set the car up in that way doesn't mean they can't find a way to make it even better. That entire engine and all its components aside from the oil lubrication, looks like it was devised from reverse engineering the current su63Tu. Pop that power plant and tranny into a 3500lb car and it will run circles around everything. Too bad Weismann went bankrupt, we could have seen it ðŸ˜*
