The engine is nothing special really. A tuned 35
I'm not trying to compare the 1M to the E30 M3. I simply used it as an example that a car (any car) can be considered special long after better technology has overtaken it. In fact, IMHO, many cars aren't considered truely special UNTIL better technology has superceeded them
