Yep, thats the same exact thing I thought of too when they were pointed out. Its got that angled-V look to them. Also, you can see some GT-R in the back end too, how the areas above the exhaust pipes kinda cave in. Very similar to how it does on the GT-R right above its tailpipes. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the power dome on the M3 necessary to fit all of the engine components under the hood? Why would the 1M need a power dome as we know the N54 fits just fine in the 1?

They've gone to a lot of trouble with cooling elsewhere. Does this engine still need it considering the design has changed since original conception? |

Oh yeah, and I don't know why the new M cars can't have a high redline. The new McLaren has a twin turbo V8, produces all its torque at 2k rpm, and holds torque and boost to redline at 8600rpm. McLaren has always been amazing though.

A hood bulge would also give space for a real strut brace...

I also think the the M-Power logo on the cover on the hood looks too strategically placed!
From certain angles in some photos under the M-Power logo it looks slightly raised. Especially those with lighting, like the wing mirror one Scott showed us. |

I think a flux capaciter is under the hood and Dr. S will transport us to 1999 and we can have the best M car ever!

Does anyone know if the "pregnant-cat" door sills have been eliminated?

Agree. There's a slight bulge in the hood under the logo. Very subtle. |

Funny, I thought the same thing when I first read it, but didn't know how to say it nicely...
