Super Prototype

Some wholesome YukiKasu wedding fluff, but also a blatant parody of the Top Gear episode where Captain Slow take the Veyron to 407 kmph, featuring three 765PRO idols and Touma as Stan's friends. A repost of the original crack work I wrote and posted on AO3, inspired by T-Square's Knight's Song (basically the Gran Turismo anthem Moon Over The Castle but it's a jazz fusion track; from the 2012 album "Niji no Uta ~T-SQUARE plays T & THE SQUARE Special~"). Read the original piece on AO3 for more details.

Wordcount: 3067 (this may be subjected to change later on)

Summary: Yukina Minato never thought that day would came, yet here she is, about to tie the knot with her beloved Kasumi Toyama; except, not really. It's actually just Stan Marsh achieving a form of Buddhist enlightenment at 400 kmph in his blue Group C-inspired Ultima Evolution equipped with the twin-turbo Ford Coyote V8, just like James May in the Bugatti Veyron on that one Top Gear episode.

Warning: lots of (DSG) fart jokes (kinda)

Kasumi and Yukina’s point-of-view:

Yukina Minato stood as she watched her brown-haired bride walk down the aisle with her father, a bouquet of roses clutched in her hands. There was a soft smile that she could faintly see through the veil covering her face.

It never came to her mind that she would be standing here, finally tying the knot with the one that she loved.

Of course, it was none other than her Star Kitty, Kasumi Toyama.

The reason why she called her that was because of her hair, which has the cute buns that she said were supposed to make her hair looked like a star. But of course, the first thing Yukina thought when she saw Kasumi’s hair was ‘Kitty’; she was a kind-hearted cat lover from within, after all.

But still, she didn’t think that this day would came. Now, she’s grateful for that to happen. And for Kasumi, she was happy to be her wife, to be Ms. Minato.

Stan’s point-of-view:

Stan Marsh sat inside the cockpit of his blue Ultima Evolution. The 1st-gen twin-turbocharged 5 liter Ford Coyote V8 (from Ford's Modular line of engines) in the engine bay growl and rumbled as it idle away. His left hand was on the steering wheel, gripping it anxiously as the two Precision Gen 2 7675 turbochargers spooled up, while his right hand was on the 39cm long sequential-style DCT Shifter in silver and black.

Today, he’s at the Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility (a nearly 4.6 km long runway) with his custom-build twin-turbo Ford Coyote V8-powered Ultima, which has 1200 hp at the rear wheels (or 1641 hp with ethanol fuel, either E85 or E100) and weigh 974 kg with the upgraded PDK dual-clutch gearbox taken from a 981-gen Porsche Cayman, as he took it for several top speed test runs to see if it can break the 400 kmph mark. Stan had heard of rumors that if anyone drives a Bugatti Veyron or something similar with a 4-digit horsepower rating to its top speed, they would achieve a form of Buddhist enlightenment when reaching said speed. He thought those rumors was a bit far-fetched, but he still decided to pour his time into his Ultima build to see if it is real. His four best friends, Haruka Amagase (née Amami), Chihaya Kisaragi, Touma Amagase, and Yayoi Kisaragi (née Takatsuki) has come over to see his do these top speed runs.

The guys of the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds program gave him the signal to start the first of several runs, which is a quarter-mile (400m) test for the Ultima. Stan bring his right hand to the steering wheel as he held the brake pedal and press the gas to about 4000 rpm, half of the 8000 rpm redline.

The launch is set.

The lights are on.

It’s time to test.

Stan let off the brakes and fully depressed the gas at the instant the green light was on, and off he goes.

Merged Flow of POV (Normal fonts for Kasumi and Yukina, italics for Stan; also, trigger warning: farts incoming):

“You’re so gorgeous, Kasumi…” Yukina muttered, stunned by the beauty of her bride as she lifted Kasumi’s veil.

“You’re very dashing too, Yukina~” Kasumi playfully replied back to the silver-haired Yukina as she chuckled softly. [“Second gear, pretty stable.�� Stan said as he heard the engine’s RPM dropped when he pulled the DCT Shifter down to shift up to second gear, the violent and distinctive DSG fart echoed through the cockpit.] (Note: yes, Porsche's PDK gearbox is capable of making those farts)

“Third gear, about 190.” Stan could hear the PDK gearbox letting out a brutal fart again as he pulled down on the DCT Shifter and shifted up to third gear.

“We are here to celebrate the marriage of Yukina Minato and Kasumi Toyama.” the priest said; “If anyone wants to object, speak now or hold your peace forever.” Kasumi and Yukina looked out to their friends and family. [“Forth gear, 255 or so, still stable.” Stan could feel an interruption in the fuel supply as he pulled the DCT Shifter down to shift into fourth gear and another loud DSG fart ripped through the cockpit.]

The Toyama-Minato couple glanced at the row in front of them, where Honoka Kousaka and her wife Tsubasa Kira is sitting. Muse and Poppin’Party has previously collaborated on multiple times, and they just did another one a month ago. Not only that, seeing how their relationship grew is what gave Kasumi and Yukina the motivation to make theirs work well.

“400 m: 8.95” is what Stan saw on his Racebox meter stuck onto the windshield above the dashboard as he checked for the time after putting his Ultima to a stop. The top speed achieved in that run logged by the Racebox was about 268 kmph, or something around that range.

“Alright, if no one wants to object, then we shall continue.” the priest said out loud. Kasumi and Yukina just simply smiled at each other.

Stan was holding the brake pedal as he applied pressure on the gas, the white needle on his black 120mm Stack ST430-010 Action Replay tachometer hover around the 4000 rpm mark. The next run is a half-mile (800m) one.

As the lights turned green, Stan let off the brakes and full-throttled his blue Ultima as it launched off the line, the white needle of the 120mm Stack tachometer instantly jumped off the 4000 rpm mark.

“Kasumi, remember way back when I first met you? I didn’t take you seriously at first, because the reason why you formed Poppin’Party was kind of lazy. But then, I saw you perform with your band at CiRCLE, and oh my god, you are like candy to my eyes and ears. You were passionate yet having fun at the same time, not giving a shit to anything else~” Yukina smiled as she chuckled softly. Kasumi can felt a bit of her tears flowing down her face as she smiled too. [“Third gear, 207.” Stan said as he pulled the DCT Shifter down and shifted up to third gear, the DSG gearbox letting out another loud fart, which he can hear it happen.]

Yukina continued; “Honestly, there’s so much about you that I can’t simply say without stretching this out, but to put it short, you’re so amazing to me. The way you manage to make me smile no matter what, the way you’d always support me in everything I do, the way you lift me up even when I was at my lowest. I’m grateful for you to have come into my life, and I vow to stay by your side, and fully devote myself to you. I love you, Kasumi Toyama.” she could see her Star Kitty bride tearing up slightly in joy as she finished her vow. Yukina simply smiled with her as she wiped off some of her tears. [“Fifth gear, about 308. No offense to Tiff Needell.” Stan quipped as he pulled the DCT Shifter down and shifted up to fifth, making a joke about the former co-presenter of Fifth Gear (and also Top Gear) as the PDK gearbox let out another violently loud fart.]

“319 km/h” is the number Stan saw on his Racebox meter as he passed the half-mile mark. He drove the Ultima back to the starting line for the one-mile (1.6 km) run.

“Yukina, you’re the most determined and dedicated girl I ever saw in my life, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things that I can describe you with. You’re beautiful, talented, charming; anything about you, I know it better than anyone else.” Kasumi joyfully started her vow as she saw the silver-haired bride getting teary-eyed in joy. [“Second gear, about 108.” Stan said as he pulled the DCT Shifter down and shifted up to second, a loud DSG fart violently ripped through the cockpit, and he could hear it in action.]

“When you came to my door, I didn’t know why you came or what happened to you, so I asked about that, and I know why, and I helped you recover that day. When you confessed your feelings to me, I couldn’t help but hugged you because I was in love with you as much as you were in love with me.” Kasumi smiled through that part as Yukina silently teared up in joy. [“Fourth gear, 256.” Stan uttered as he pulled down on the DCT Shifter and shifted up to fourth, that familiar sound of DSG farting echoed through the cockpit again.]

“I couldn’t fully describe how much you meant to me, Yukina, but one thing I can say is that I’m glad to meet you, even if our first encounter was a mixed bag. I first love you as my senpai, then as your girlfriend, and now, as your wife. I’ll be with you through thick and thin, in sickness and health, and everything life throws at the two of us, cause I know we’ll make it through, and I know you are the same too. Yukina Minato, I love you too.” Kasumi finished her vow just in time to see Yukina tearing up in joy. She helped the silver-haired bride wipe off some of her tears. [“Sixth gear, 356.” Stan said as he pulled the DCT Shifter down and shifted up to sixth, the PDK gearbox let out that familiar fart as he does so.]

“367 km/h” is what Stan saw on his Racebox meter as he hit the 1.6 km mark. He returned back to the start line for the full 4.34 km (2.7 miles) run, the same setup as when Hennessey set their record with the Lotus-based twin-turbo Venom GT.

“Stan, you can do it!” the familiar voice of his best friend Haruka ring through the intercom in his helmet into his ears.

“Yeah, Stan, 400 isn’t far away! Though I don’t know if you will achieve something like Captain Slow himself.” her husband and his best friend Touma encouraged him through the intercom in the helmet as he drove back, while also making a joke about James May’s nickname.

“Thanks, Haruka and Touma, I can do it~” Stan chuckled back to the Amami-Amagase couple through the intercom.

“With this ring, I, Yukina Minato, take you, Kasumi Toyama, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward; for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” Yukina said as she slipped the ring onto Kasumi’s ring finger. [“You can do it, Stan! Let’s see how you handle 400 kmph.” the blue-haired Chihaya encouraged him through the intercom in the helmet as he held the gas and slam on the brakes; the white needle on the black 120mm Stack Action Replay tachometer hover between the 4000 and 4500 rpm mark, as Stan has increased the twin-turbo Coyote V8's redline to 8500 rpm, higher than the normal 8000 rpm setup.]

“Yeah, Chihaya. I'm doubtful about something weird happening today, though, unless that big spoiler at the back broke free, and that thing is integrated into the bodywork.” Stan shrugged and quipped.

“I believe in you, Stan!” the enthusiasm of her wife Yayoi rang through the intercom and into Stan’s ears.

“Thanks, Yayoi~” Stan joyfully replied back.

“With this ring, I, Kasumi Toyama, take you, Yukina Minato, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward; for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” Kasumi also said as she slipped the ring she held onto Yukina’s ring finger.

“Now, Yukina Minato, will you take Kasumi Toyama as your lawfully wedded wife till death do both of you part?” the priest asked.

“I do.” Yukina answered back with a smile.

“And Kasumi Toyama, will you take Yukina Minato as your lawfully wedded wife till death do both of you part?” he repeated the question.

“I do.” Kasumi answered back with the brightest smile Yukina has ever seen since they started dating.

“Alright.” Stan said. Then the lights went green and he let the brakes off and fully slammed on the gas, the Ultima launched off the line like a rocket.

“Now I pronounce you two wife and wife! Kasumi and Yukina, you two can kiss each other now.” the priest said happily.

Kasumi and Yukina pulled each other into an embrace as they seal their lips, passionately kissing each other as the guests cheered and clapped louder than Ford’s high-revving 5.2 liter Voodoo V8 in the Mustang Shelby GT350, with Honoka and Tsubasa being the loudest ones. [“200.” Stan said as the speedometer on the steering wheel and the Racebox meter read out that speed, the exotic symphony of the twin-turbo Ford Coyote V8 with equal-length headers exhaust echoed through the cockpit and across the Shuttle Landing Facility.]

“I now present to you, Ms. and Ms. Minato!” the priest said out loud to the guests. [“250.” Stan held the gas as the boost gauge maxed out.]

“300.” Stan can feel something in him is changing.

The Minato couple walked down the aisle and towards the door as they took their first steps as a now-married lesbian couple.

“325.” something within Stan is changing, the thing that Haruka, Touma, Chihaya, and Yayoi could see in the live on-board recording.

“Congrats Kasumi-chan!” the dark orange-haired Honoka cheered for the Toyama-Minato couple.

“350. Still stable.” Haruka, Touma, Chihaya, and Yayoi heard Stan describing the stability of his blue Ultima.

“Kasumi-san and Yukina-san, I wish you two have a wonderful marriage!” Tsubasa cheered for them as well.

“375. Getting close.” Stan uttered as he pass more than a mile.

Yukina and Kasumi stepped out the cathedral and stood outside, holding hands and smiling to each other, proud to be wives of each other.

“390, and there’s something strange.” Stan said, feeling a little weird as he came close to the coveted top speed.

“I love you, Yukina Minato.”

“400, that mark. Now I’m kinda like James May.” Stan quipped as he reached the magical barrier.

“I love you too, Kasumi Minato.”

“405. Now shit is getting nuts.”

Yukina Minato and Kasumi Minato (née Toyama) smiled and kissed each other again, happy that they are now married. They’re so in love, in fact, that they didn’t noticed a weird, high-pitch, almost exotic sound of a twin-turbo V8.

“410, and why the fucking hell do I see Kasumi Toyama and Yukina Minato on the left side? I must be getting some kind of enlightenment like James May, though.” Stan uttered as he pushed the twin-turbo Coyote V8 in his Ultima to the limit and saw the the Toyama-Minato lesbian couple in front of him on the left side, the white needle on the black 120mm Stack tachometer passing the 8000 rpm mark, the normal redline setting, while the Stack boost gauge and the boost meter on the steering wheel are maxed out and can't read out anything else beyond that number.

Yukina and Kasumi still kiss each other, still indulge in the eternal love they have for each other, the love that they promised to held till death do them part. Kasumi Toyama now has become Kasumi Mina-

Suddenly, a blue blur passed them by at a gap of 125 cm and at speeds of 414 kmph, the loud, high-pitch exotic-like V8 melody roared loudly as it passed the newlywedded Toyama-Minato couple like a ground missile, glued to the tarmac by the downforce generated by the big almost-squared spoiler integrated into the rear bodywork. It was the blue Group C-inspired Ultima Evolution with the twin-turbo 1st-gen Ford Coyote V8, piloted by Stanley Marsh. The Racebox meter, the OEM speedometer, and the measuring tools of the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds program all proved that Stan had exceeded the 400 kmph mark.

Stan has now reached the limit in about 1.5 miles or 2.4 km, but his twin-turbo Ultima was begging for him to push it harder. After 3 km or 1.86 miles, he let off the gas and slammed on the brakes, making them glow red hot as he pushed up the DCT Shifter to downshift; “Woah, Stan, are you alright?” Haruka asked, concerned for him.

“I'm alright, Haruka, but honestly, it's kinda weird at 400, almost like I'm in the cockpit of the Peugeot V6-powered Welter-Meunier P88 at 407 or the Bugatti Veyron at the same speed, and I also just saw Kasumi Toyama and Yukina Minato in wedding gowns on the left side when I reach 410.” Stan answered back through the intercom as he drove his blue Ultima back to the starting line, describing what he saw as he was on the edge of his seat when he reached 400 kmph and above in vivid details, while also alluding to the name of a certain Peugeot-backed Group C prototype powered by the twin-turbocharged version of the PRV V6 (the same PRV engine that was used for the Ultima Mk1 and the later Mk2 and Mk3).

“Well, Stan, I guess you just achieve some kind of Buddist enlightenment, just like James May himself in that one Top Gear episode when he drove the Veyron to 407, though I don’t know why do you see Kasumi and Yukina of Poppin’Party and Roselia fame on the left side at 410.” Touma quipped.

“Yeah, Touma, perhaps it��s true that some form of enlightenment can be achieve when one push themselves to the limit in a very fast machine, and as for Kasumi and Yukina, I think I was kinda being Captain Slow for a moment after hitting 400.” Stan replied back.

“Hey, don’t worry about that, Stan, now you know how it feels to reach your limit.” Chihaya cheered him on.

“Thanks for that, Chihaya.” Stan replied back to the blue-haired singer.

“Wanna have something for lunch? It's noon right now, after all.” asked her wife Yayoi.

“Yes, Yayoi, but you four go first, okay? I still have to run the full length stretch.” Stan answered through the intercom; "I'll wait."

"We'll wait for you too, Stan~" Haruka chuckled softly.

Stan now knew what it feels to be on the edge, to push himself to the limit.

When the original BMW M5 debuted, it was the answer to a question no one had asked, and what an answer it was — there had never been a proper sports sedan before. The M5 established the practice of incorporating racing technology into a road-going vehicle. The concept first emerged when the then-CEO's security detail, driving a 5 Series, could not keep up with his 7 Series, so they turned to the motorsport division for assistance. The solution was to install the engine from the 3.0 CSL, modify the suspension, and strengthen the brakes. The M5 as we know it today was born.

We take many things for granted these days. In almost every modern car, the brakes brake and the steering steers; before the M5, the brakes slowed and the steering guide. Almost 40 years later, the original E28 M5 is still going strong. When it was launched, it had power, a sharp steering setup with real feedback, and the brakes required to handle the high speeds. Driving one of these beauties proved that it is still up for the challenge of a fast run through the Alps! Here comes the most recent BMW M5. The latest generation, like the previous ones, makes significant progress. As usual, it has more power and handling.

The seventh-generation M5 is larger, bolder, and more attractive, and the sedan will be joined by a wagon for only the third time, and the first in Canada. The Touring is a big deal for those who want a true performance car but have family obligations — it is the ideal anti-crossover; full details will be revealed in August. Aside from touring, the most significant change to the M5 is the adoption of a PHEV powertrain. The electric side provides more elasticity and urgency to the drive. The M5's throttle response has always been quick; however, the addition of an electric motor adds instant torque to the low end, so the throttle response is even faster right now!

It begins with a twin-turbocharged, 577-horsepower 4.4-liter V8 engine that pairs with an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission. The combination produces a net output of 717 horsepower. The engine produces 553 lb-ft of torque between 1,800 and 5,400 rpm. The electric side adds 206 lb-ft, but there is a twist: there is a gear set between the electric motor and the transmission input shaft, so the effective torque is 332 lb-ft. When the throttle is nudged, the engine responds immediately.

The engine and electric motor combine to produce more torque than the transmission can handle, limiting the power curve to 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm). This results in a straight line power curve from off idle to near red-line. The refined sledgehammer can reach 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, with an 80 to 120 km/h time of 2.2 seconds. Boost Control mode allows for peak performance by putting the drivetrain and suspension into hyper mode, allowing for speeds between 32 and 144 km/h.

The M5's design focuses on maximizing weight and returns for added weight. A PHEV system, which is not much heavier than a regular hybrid system, brings more energy, with a battery capable of 14.8 kWh of power. This allows the M5 to deliver 40 km of electric-only driving using the EPA test cycle. The PHEV setup sustains the M5's performance over multiple hot laps before exhausting the battery. The electric motor delivers instant torque and doubles as a generator to capture wasted energy and return it to the battery. A regular hybrid setup might only manage one lap at full chat before forcing the system to go gas-only.

The M Adaptive suspension controls body motion with precision, keeping the car flat and the P285/40ZR20 front and P295/35ZR21 rear tires planted. The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system delivers power with authority, and the stability control system can be switched to two-wheel-drive for an "unfiltered performance experience." The M Sport rear differential delivers torque vectoring, allowing the M5 to turn in with less steering input.

The PHEV's battery is placed between axles and low in the body to prevent understeer and maintain the center of gravity. The M5 has a longer wheelbase and wider track to maintain balance and maintain the driving ethic. Rear wheel steering is used to mask curb weight, making the 2,445-kg car feel lighter. The M5's larger size enhances low-speed maneuverability and sharpens steering response at speed, bringing faster response to input and better high-speed stability.

The choice of tire is crucial for a car's performance, and BMW collaborated with tire suppliers like Michelin, Pirelli, and Hankook to find the best rubber for the M5. The M5 is a ballet dancer with grip, despite its 2,500-kilogram curb weight, making it feel nimble and more dialed-in than expected. The M5's grip, combined with the right slippers, masks the car's almost 2,500-kilogram curb weight, making it feel more nimble and more dialed-in than expected.

The answer is yes, and the M5 stuck to the business of cornering even as my nerve was starting to give up. You see, my built-in yaw sensor (the old puck-o-meter) had some defined limits, so it told me when it was time to back off before I became the twit sitting in the gravel trap. The M5’s ability destroyed my previous limits and pushed them to new heights altogether. Even then I admit I didn’t manage to come close to challenging the M5’s extraordinary limits.

The M5's traction and ability were highlighted in three key areas: down the back straight, which is technically not a straight due to its series of turns seven, eight, nine, and 10. When driving at sane speeds, these twists form a near-straight line, but when ramped up, they become real corners generating lateral forces.

The author describes a challenging run, starting with a long looping corner and then a series of twisties before reaching the main straight. They build their speed through the sweeper laps but never reach peak velocity. The final hurdle is the main straight, where the speeds qualify as slow. The author uses the optional ceramic rotors to slow the M5 breathtakingly, ensuring the grip needed for the turn one/two complex.

The author appreciates the M5 for its flawless handling, blazing speed, and raw stopping power, stating that it danced beautifully on the Salzburgring racetrack, even in the hands of a seasoned racer running just shy of ten-tenths.

The 2025 BMW M5 Touring is priced at $135,000 in Canada, making it more appealing than the BMW XM, which starts at $220,000. This price offers better handling and versatility, making it a great deal for those looking for a powerful vehicle.

The author has been a long-time fan of the M5 sedan, which has been the standard for all others. Today, the race for supremacy is tight, with the Audi RS6 being a co-favorite. Both super-sports have chromium-plated credentials and are perfect for twisty roads. Based on the author's experience, they recommend the upcoming M5 Touring as a street-legal race car with a focus on cars. The choice has never been tougher, making the choice between the two super-sports a tough one.

How BMW Engine Technology Has Evolved Over The Years

BMW is a well-known brand for its high-performance engines, but how did it get there? Here is a brief overview of the history and evolution of BMW engine technology, from its origins in aircraft engines to its current innovations in electric and hybrid powertrains.

The first BMW engine: the IIIa aircraft engine (1917)

BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Engine Works, and it was founded in 1917 as a manufacturer of aircraft engines. The first engine produced by BMW was the IIIa, a water-cooled inline-six engine with a carburetor that could deliver 185 hp. The IIIa had a sophisticated design that prevented loss of performance at high altitudes, and it was used by several German fighter planes during World War I. In 1919, BMW set an unofficial altitude record of 9,760 meters with the enhanced Motor IV model .

The first BMW motorcycle engine: the R 5 boxer engine (1936)

After World War I, BMW had to stop producing aircraft engines due to the Treaty of Versailles, so it switched to making motorcycle engines, farm equipment, household items and railway brakes. The first motorcycle produced by BMW was the R 32 in 1923, which featured a flat-twin boxer engine that became a signature feature of BMW motorcycles. The R 5, introduced in 1936, was a milestone in motorcycle engineering, as it had a 500 cc boxer engine with 24 hp and a valve control via two camshafts .

The first BMW car engine: the M78 straight-six engine (1933)

BMW entered the car market in 1928 by acquiring the Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, which produced the Dixi car based on the Austin 7. The first car to bear the BMW name was the 3/15, which used a four-cylinder engine from Austin. In 1933, BMW developed its own car engine, the M78, a straight-six engine with 1.2 liters of displacement and 30 hp. The M78 was used in the BMW 303, the first car to feature the kidney-shaped radiator grille that became another trademark of BMW .

The first BMW turbocharged engine: the M12/13 Formula One engine (1982)

BMW has a long history of involvement in motorsports, especially in Formula One, touring cars and endurance racing. One of the most successful engines that BMW developed for Formula One was the M12/13, a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four engine that could produce up to 1,400 hp in qualifying mode. The M12/13 powered the Brabham BT52 car driven by Nelson Piquet, who won the 1983 Formula One World Championship with three victories and nine podiums .

The first BMW V12 engine: the S70 McLaren F1 engine (1993)

BMW has also produced some impressive V12 engines for road cars, such as the M70 used in the BMW 750i and 850i models in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the most remarkable V12 engine that BMW ever made was the S70, a custom-built engine for the McLaren F1 supercar. The S70 was a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated engine that delivered 627 hp and enabled the McLaren F1 to reach a top speed of 386 km/h (240 mph), making it the fastest production car in the world at that time .

The first BMW diesel engine: the M21 inline-six engine (1983)

BMW was one of the pioneers of diesel technology in passenger cars, as it introduced its first diesel engine, the M21, in 1983. The M21 was an inline-six engine with a displacement of 2.4 liters and a power output of 86 hp. It was equipped with a Bosch injection pump and a Garret turbocharger, and it offered high fuel efficiency and low emissions. The M21 was used in several models such as the BMW 524td and the BMW E28 .

The first BMW hybrid engine: the ActiveHybrid X6 powertrain (2009)

BMW has also been experimenting with hybrid technology since the late 1990s, when it developed a concept car called the Z22 that featured an electric motor and a hydrogen fuel cell. In 2009, BMW launched its first production hybrid model, the ActiveHybrid X6, which combined a twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine with two electric motors and a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The ActiveHybrid X6 had a total system output of 485 hp and could run on electric power alone for up to 2.5 km (1.6 miles) .

The first BMW electric engine: the i3 powertrain (2013)

BMW has also been a leader in electric mobility, as it created a sub-brand called BMW i in 2011 to focus on developing electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The first model to be launched under the BMW i brand was the i3, a compact hatchback that featured an electric motor with 170 hp and a lithium-ion battery pack with a range of 130 to 160 km (80 to 100 miles). The i3 also offered an optional range extender, a small petrol engine that could charge the battery and extend the range by another 150 km (93 miles) .

The most powerful BMW engine: the S63 twin-turbocharged V8 engine (2019)

BMW has always been known for its high-performance engines, especially those developed by its motorsport division, BMW M. One of the most powerful engines that BMW M has ever created is the S63, a twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a displacement of 4.4 liters and a power output of 625 hp. The S63 is used in several models such as the BMW M5 Competition, the BMW M8 Competition and the BMW X5 M Competition, and it can propel these cars from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than four seconds .

The most innovative BMW engine: the B38 inline-three engine (2013)

BMW has also been innovative in creating engines that are both efficient and powerful, such as the B38, an inline-three engine with a displacement of 1.2 to 1.5 liters and a power output of 75 to 231 hp. The B38 is part of a modular family of engines that share the same architecture and components, but vary in the number of cylinders and turbochargers. The B38 features technologies such as direct injection, variable valve timing and variable valve lift, and it is used in several models such as the BMW i8, the BMW 218i and the Mini Cooper .

Although it seems somewhat similar to the Jesko, there are numerous variations. So, preserving in mind this problem, Koenigsegg included this characteristic within the Jesko.

But there are additionally design differences between the model variants. The entrance wheel suspensions are more compact, which is why the Targa roof can now be stowed under the front hood. In addition, the chassis is more softly tuned on the rear, which should give the Absolute extra driving comfort.

All the whereas, the background score is offered by the 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8. There are two versions of the Jesko, which bears the name of company founder Christian von Koenigsegg’s father. The first one is capable of generating greater than 3,000 kilos of downforce and is designed for the best lap instances. The second, called Jesko Absolut, has no rear wing and aims for the quickest speeds. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has an prolonged rear hood, lined rear wheels, lowered experience peak, and eliminated entrance wheel louvres and front hood closed air duct - in comparison with the observe targeted Jesko. All these adjustments are made to reduce back drag and downforce; resulting in super high-speed stability, modest tire-friendly downforce and a really low drag coefficient of solely 0.278 Cd.

The Mercedes-Benz C111 was a series of experimental automobiles produced by Mercedes-Benz in the 1960s and 1970s. The company was experimenting with new engine technologies, including Wankel engines, diesel engines, and turbochargers, and used the basic C111 platform as a testbed. Other experimental features included multi-link rear suspension, gull-wing doors and a luxurious interior with leather trim and air conditioning.

The first version of the C111 was completed in 1969. The car used a fiberglass body shell and with a mid-mounted three-rotor direct fuel injected Wankel engine (code named M950F). The next C111 appeared in 1970. It used a four-rotor engine producing 257 kW (350 hp). The car reportedly could reach a speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).

The company decided not to adopt the Wankel engine and turned to diesel experiments for the second and third C111s. The C111-IID produced 140 kW (188 hp) and was based on the 240D W115 model OM616 engine. The C111-III was powered by a 170 kW (228 hp) at 4,500 rpm straight-five OM617 turbocharged diesel that broke nine diesel and gasoline speed records. With more aerodynamic bodywork that gave it an air drag coefficient of 0.191, the C111 eventually reached 322 km/h (200 mph) at the Nardò Ring in 1978, and averaged 16.0 liters/100 km at 316 km/h (14.7 mpg at 195.4 mph) over a 12-hour cruise. A later 373 kW (500 hp; 507 CV) 4.8 L twin KKK-turbocharged V8 version set another record, with an average lap-speed of 403.78 km/h (250.958 mph). This was achieved by Hans Liebold in 1 minute, 56.67 seconds on May 5, 1979.

Total production was 16 cars: 13 first and second generation Wankel engined cars, 2 diesel engined third generation cars used in the Nardo record attempt, and a single V8 engined fourth generation car.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the C112 at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991 as a proposed production sports car. The car used a mid-mounted 6.0 L V12 engine. After accepting 700 deposits, the company decided not to proceed with production.

First Look: The Aston Martin DBX

A bold new chapter and a landmark moment in Aston Martin’s illustrious 106-year history, Aston Martin has today unveiled its first SUV and a model that will propel the brand to new heights worldwide. That model, is DBX.

The culmination of an extensive development program that began with physical testing in Wales last year and virtual development stretching back to 2015, DBX signals a new era in Aston Martin’s pursuit to deliver exceptional performance, style and usability in a segment previously unexplored by the world-famous manufacturer. Bringing both the versatility and indulgence expected of a luxury SUV with sports car levels of dynamic performance, DBX sets a bold new standard in this sector.

Set to be built in Aston Martin’s purpose-built manufacturing facility in St Athan, Wales, the foundation of DBX is a new dedicated SUV platform, something rarely seen across the sector. More than ever before, this clean sheet of paper has allowed all departments within Aston Martin to innovate and push the boundaries of what British design and engineering can create, resulting in a truly remarkable product.

Utilizing bonded aluminium, a construction method Aston Martin has refined through the development of its sports cars, the body structure is both very light and incredibly stiff, assisting in the delivery of an overall curb weight of 2,245kg. Right from its genesis, it was designed to allow maximum room in the cabin, putting a premium on refinement and class leading spaciousness for both front and rear occupants. Meanwhile, the exceptional stiffness inherent in the design of the new platform has also enabled DBX to achieve exceptional dynamics both on and off-road.

Powered by a new version of the characterful 4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in DB11 and Vantage, DBX features an impressive output of 550PS and 700NM of torque, carefully tuned to meet the specific needs of this model. With a sound character that is unquestionably Aston Martin, the active exhaust system ensures this is a luxury SUV that can sound refined one moment and exhilarating the next. The engine’s versatility isn’t restricted to its vocals either; the turbocharged V8 has cylinder deactivation to enhance fuel economy, yet it can also propel DBX from 0 to 62mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 181mph.

Aston Martin’s first ever full-size 5-seat model is not only exceptionally versatile in terms of the terrain that it can tackle, it is also extremely adaptable to a wide variety of lifestyle needs and owners. Designed to accommodate the world’s 99th percentile male and 5th percentile female, DBX has been very deliberately created with instant familiarity and ease of use from the start.

With 632 liters of boot space and 40:20:40 split folding rear seats DBX possesses all the flexible load capacity expected of an SUV with class-leading interior space. The load space offers a practical and cleanly designed space. A narrow load sill and broad aperture maximizes the practicality for a variety of luggage, such as suitcases, golf bags and ski equipment.

The luxuriously handcrafted interior of DBX has been designed to provide equal space and comfort whether sitting in the front or rear of the car. Class-leading headroom and legroom combines with a full-length glass panoramic roof and frameless door glass to offer a fantastically light and spacious cabin environment. The use of sports car seat packaging in the front not only provides the driver with exceptional support and long-distance driving comfort, but also provides knee and footwell clearance for those sitting behind.

Small touches throughout, including separate central armrests, glovebox design and the ergonomic positioning of the car’s key control systems, have been guided carefully by the input of the brand’s Female Advisory Board, dealership feedback and a variety of private focus groups held worldwide. Not limited to this area, the guidance provided has been key to the success of DBX’s overall design.

The seats are trimmed in sumptuous, full grain leather, sourced from long term partner Bridge of Weir. An industry first, both the headlining and electric roof blind are available in a luxurious Alcantara® finish, providing a harmonious design, light obscuration and solar attenuation without compromising headroom. Throughout the cabin, DBX maintains an authenticity of materials, with judicious use of metal, glass and wood throughout the cabin.

Another design highlight includes the elegantly crafted bridged center console allowing for both flexible storage below and a beautiful, architectural centerpiece. This feature keeps valuables close to hand while not occupying the passenger seat and away from dirt on the car’s floor mats. As part of ‘Q by Aston Martin’ – Aston Martin’s personalization service - optional features of this center console can be machined from a solid piece of wood, such as Walnut, for added tactility.

A contemporary range of exquisite wood, composite and metal veneers ensure that the cabin can be tailored to any taste. This includes a range of innovative materials and an industry first application of a fabric made from 80% wool. A new flax composite – derived from the same plant as fine linen – also provides an alternative to carbon fibre and a distinctive design aesthetic.

Recommended Retail Price from £158,000* in the UK, €193,500 in Germany and $189,900 in USA. DBX is on sale now, with first deliveries scheduled to begin Q2 2020.
