That hood looks awful on the m3. It doesn't flow with car imo

I agree.

Excited for the season to start

Luckily we get it on satellite tv in SA

Love the pic at the end. Looks like Audi is going to the coupe design of the new S5. I MB going with the C63 Coupe? I can't tell from the pic.

Looks exciting. Hopefully I'll be able to see some races from this season. I think I missed all of last year because I didn't see any on SPEED.

Can you get these on XBOX ESPN like you can with ALMS?

bavarian19 · 01-19-2012, 10:59 AM

Why is Di Resta's name on the Merc? I know he used to race for them...

Dont have an XBOX so dont know, but I am going to guess not since I doubt ESPN covers or would pay for the rights. I am guessing Speed is the only one to carry it in North America.

Imagine ending up owning this car in a few years time. You'd have a one-off race spec M3 with a GTS engine under the bonnet. It wouldn't get any more badass.

SchnellM3 · 01-19-2012, 07:18 PM

Looks Good

DylanMckay · 01-20-2012, 07:30 AM

Wonder why they didn't just use a GTS and slap the lights on top and maybe the vented hood if needed but doubt those vents are needed.

As an aside this reminds me of good proof why an aftermarket intake, atleast on this car, clearly adds no power. This engine is bigger and makes 40 more hp and yet has the same airbox/intake design. clearly if enough air is moving for the GTS engine than enough air is available for the regular s65

jrswann · 01-20-2012, 12:11 PM

That hood is amazing

vladberca · 01-20-2012, 02:49 PM

It will be an exciting season
