Wow, it’s been a long time since I saw one of those. They weren’t even common 20 years ago.

Was following a current gen 740d round a roundabout when a current gen M760Li "breezed" past us.

Not an irl spot but I love this. Volvo Amazon with an S38 and a big fat turbo, 800bhp apparently.
An absolute unit
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Yes, exactly like I said.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
im sure the 4.8is was fast in its day, but I'm still struggling to believe the SVR wouldn’t completely smash the 4.8is if it was actually trying.
It’s 2 seconds faster to 60, 2.5 seconds faster 1/4 mile, then it’s got an 8 speed gearbox and nearly 45% more bhp, 25% more torques & 10% less weight.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
2 seconds quicker to 60 but only 2.5 seconds quicker over a 1/4mile would suggest that when up and rolling there isn't actually a massive difference between them

fair point, that does suggest a chunk of time is made off the line.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 4:28 pm 2 seconds quicker to 60 but only 2.5 seconds quicker over a 1/4mile would suggest that when up and rolling there isn't actually a massive difference between them

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Let's be clear, I couldn't give a fuck either way.
It was a throw-away comment. We had some pulls on the motorway, I expected it to romp off and he clearly did yet it didn't. It was faster and he pulled on me, but not by much. I'm not trying to claim it's a fast car, it's 2 tonnes and only has 360bhp, 4wd and the aerodynamics of a garden shed. I've owned fast cars and this isn't one.
