interesting, I'll have to read up on this.

That is a good point, the iX has a higher AH @ approx 265AH. It is interesting that they dialed up power though from the same battery capacity between the iX 50 and iX M60, which makes me think it...

What are your thoughts on just upgrading the cooling + rear motor output increase to meet the iX M60?

I can't imagine the battery would suffer any different than the iX M60, aside from perhaps...

Honestly, this thing should trap between a RWD M3 and an AWD M3, I say this because one of the most recent specs based on a dragy run shows the i4 M50 trapping 113.70 mph at the 1,000ft mark.
...

^^ I say 11.0 based on Taycan Turbo on Dragy and finding a happy medium between two data points of 1,000ft traps where one ran 10.8@128mph, with a 115.83 mph 1,000ft, another ran 11.4@117mph, with a...

Based on that 1000ft trap, the vehicle has an 11.0-11.2 second in it with the right launch surface prep in my opinion.

It would be hard to do anything different with how to launch this car, also...

Brock from Dragtimes did a quick Dragy video:

My notes from the video:

Cool video!

Pump?

If so, would also love to see E85 on this thing, I'd imagine another 30-40rwhp if so on E85 like other N/A platforms?

The iX is the M60, however with that being said, the latest BMW motors are practically the same BMW 5th generation, 6-phase units both front/rear so in theory you should be able to get 483HP out of...

Another data point to highlight the top-end acceleration of the M50:

1000 meters takes 23 seconds for both the M50 and Tesla M3P.

BUT, the M50 reaches its electronically limited top speed of...

The beaver tooths are actually shaped differently and the inserts have a more rounded curve from a side view to them than the 4 series

Took me a bit to figure out why, but to me they are more...

Anyone notice that in one of the shots, it showed the BMW @ 125mph after he let off after the finish line (in other words, coasting a split second before showing that video clip)

Based on how well...

congrats to second place?

all kidding aside, this is pretty neat.

I'm secretly hoping this will bring "plebian" GT4 prices down to more reasonable levels...just because I want one and people are apparently buying them just to flip at higher than MSRP prices..

on some photo's hosted on other sides, you can sort of make out the round headlights (the split headlight design). I sorta like it? It kind of modernizes the bangle-era design, but better looking.
...

they could call it the Supra Turbo...

ease into it, not jam into it :laughing-rofl:

The grill works better to me on the GC than the coupe, I think it's the taller roofline that makes it work better?

Definitely early, the back-half isn't particularly strong for an upgraded turbo'd car.

You'd be surprised what can be accomplished 60ft wise with AWD and PS4's. I can score 1.55 on my almost...

I do like the Exclusive Design wheels better, however I wouldn't kick these wheels out of bed.

The downside with these at least on the configurator website is that it's tied to PSCB, so it becomes...

that braking figures are $#@!ing impressive!

yes, the opposite of drafting.

Next time when you come up on a car in their 3/4 rear view, turn on the instant MPG gauge and you'll see a rather sizable drop in MPG in that area until you get...

Such a big step in design. The current one looks as if it was designed by 4 different design studio's each taking a piece and meshing it together. Each 4 are attractive in singularity, but not when...

It takes a good amount of power to hang in any cars 3/4 area at those speeds (aero is terrible for any vehicle next to it in that area at speeds), let alone a FBO E85 S55...

I actually think if...
