It looks to be putting out 391whp! In reality, its putting out over 450hp.

I just saw that on edmunds, very impressive.
That car must spin the tires quite a bit, because a 5.2 0-60 seems relatively slow for that car with that power/weight ratio. Compared to the Mercedes S550 which does a 5.3 0-60 with less hp at the crank than the bimmer has AT THE WHEELS, this seems odd...

With that said, the F01 blew me away. Completely. I would have no problem justifying spending a hundred grand on one, if I had it. |

new jaguar xjr coming out next year is said to be only 3700 lbs. How Jaguar managed to get a flagship 510hp car weighing that much simply blew me away. We shall wait and see how it compares to the 750.

They probably use inflatable seats and steering wheel... You need to inflate them yourself before you can drive the car

They've probably added the engine and gearbox to the options list!

lol. It's because the car is built entirely out of aluminum. But if you were to get into an accident....it would cost a lot more to fix.
P.S. The current XJ weights 3,770 lbs. So making the next gen weigh less than 3700 isn't a far fetch. Last edited by Master Deep; 05-03-2009 at 03:55 PM.. |
