Today’s want

I remember MarkBT_52 taking me round Donington in his Exige, bonkers. Only thing I've passengered in that was quicker was a 340R!

[JonMad]

Yeah I know they’re rare and all but £280k vs about £5k I expect, for a CLK55.

Are they the same underpinnings ?

Well, the DTM is supercharged, so 200+bhp more, and can do 200mph and 60 in < 4s. So there is that.

Same basic engine as some others though, albeit retuned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes- ... Kompressor

pretty, but how does it make so little power out of so many litres?

The picture reminds me those Alfa circular alloys are some of the most beautiful designs ever.

[JonMad]

It does look lovely. And so small. A 2+2 as well.

I’m trying to buy this but the seller isn’t responding.

Because it was designed in the 70s

A 90s early 2000s Bmw 3l engine would have been 200-230bhp though ?

Those GTV go really well and are a right handful drive. The oddest driving position i have ever come across, i couldnt get remotely comfortable.

ETA- The advert is wrong as they were 230bhp.

was the 3.2 around 230bhp? Equally pathetic for something supposed to be a special version.

It was on purpose so you could be on the loud pedal for longer and listen to that glorious V6
Not like new cars nowadays where after 3 seconds of throttle you’re banned from driving.

The 24v 3.0 was 220ps (vs 230 for the BMW 3.0 of that era) and the 3.2 was 240ps. 75ps/litre is just normal, really. It was hardly an M3 competitor (nor was it M3 money).

[integrale_evo]

A mid 80s 2.5 version of a 70s BMW straight 6 made 170bhp odd, a 2001 BMW 2.2 straight 6 made 170bhp ish.

My mid 90s 3.2 straight 6 BMW made 316bhp...

[integrale_evo]

156gta wasn't far off m3 money was it?

I love how they look and probably would have bought one years ago if they had another 70bhp and were rwd.

So you’re saying that engines that didn’t set the contemporary record for highest specific output for a production engine had a lower specific output than engines that did? I, for one, am shocked at this news. Shocked.

I think you’ll find they’re “pathetic”.

[NotoriousREV]

Anyway, the Firebird I want makes 34bhp/litre. Beat that for pathetic output

[Mito Man]

I have farts more powerful.
