PantsofVance The F1 used the engine from the M8 which never made it into production so BMW sold the engines they had sourced for the project.

Nope. "A common misconception is that this engine powered the McLaren F1. When this was suggested to McLaren's designer Gordon Murray, however, the idea was rejected because the engine was too heavy and long for the McLaren F1. Rather, variations on the original S70 used on the 850csi, the S70/2 and S70/3 were used for the McLaren F1. (The variation used on the M8 prototype was the S70/1 engine.)" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_8_Series#M8

PantsofVance no this is a single cam v12 with two valves, that v12 that when into the McLaren F1 was built by M power, it's the twin cam M8 V12 engine, what M power did, was to build that v12 on two twin cam inline m3 engines that produced 320bhp each, but then again, if you have a v12 with a single cam cylinder head, you can swap it with a twin cam head, if it fits
@YUSKHAN7 жыл бұрын
PantsofVance thats not true, the m8 engine was designed, by putting two twin cam inline m3 engines two getter that was the foundations of the m8 design

How is the 8 NOT a GT car??? That’s exactly what it is. Way more than today’s GT cars because it is comfortable and not harsh with oversized wheels and tiny side walled tires. This is a perfect car for long distance tours. The smooth V12 and great looks makes it a poster car for what a GT should aim to be like IMO. An expensive car that does not look outdated before someone is done paying for the car.

When Clarkson says regular 850 was not a GT car, nor sports car, he is wrong, of course. We all know Clarkson does not like BMW. 850i is VERY much a GT car, and 850CSI is considered pretty much a super car now, 1500 ever made, prices of CSI are insane in Germany, if you can catch one at Mobile.de I have 850i for 13 years now, yes its heavy, but not more than 750, sluggish front due to heavy engine, but I dont go to race rings, 99.9% of the time roads are straight here. People turn heads to 850i more than to current SL, and some younger guys ask what model it is lol

That's true and a good point, I really like how BMW designed the interior of the 8 series. Still, for me a sports car is most about fun, and a bit less about quality, like the Ferrari 348/355 which wasn't even comparable to any of those from that aspect.

Well, for a start there are only 194 countries on earth. According to the article on Wikipedia on the subject, around 1/3 of the world's population live in countries that drive on the left. And the word is adopt, not adapt. And sure, it does make it more expensive, but with RHD as such a big market, all cars these days are designed for either RHD or LHD from the start: presumably the geometry is just switched, and the number of different parts is probably fairly minimal...
