The R won't be significantly faster than the S, but driving dynamics may be different. I believe it's only 150 lbs lighter than the S with only 15 hp gain. I believe all those 0-60 numbers are conservative.

For pete's sake, it's twin turbo. You can tell by the pics. You can see the DV lines, running just like on the N54 in all of the other N54 powered x35i's.

Apparently the people writing the 1M catalog material could not decide if it was twin-turbo or not either...... |

I know I didn't want to go there and come off like a Debbie Downer all the timer.

Supposedly Jurgen Schwenker himself stated that it is "A very free-revving six-cylinder in-line engine with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology and 340HP."

1M is the clear winner between the German purist coupes (base price comparo)
1M = 46,000 TT RS = 65,000 Cayman R = 66,000 Other cars that might be considered purist competitors; Subaru STi = 38,000 Mitsu Evo = 34,000 |

You betcha!
http://blog.caranddriver.com/hooray-...-by-late-2011/ I little more grunt and a little less girth than the 1M... but then agian the price reflects that. The 1M is still a huge bang for your buck in comparison. |

Yeah, I think that point is being lost on some folks. I can understand it. The 1M is on comparison to cars what?....20-30% more expensive. 1M seems a real value to me. |

Is that a question for me or just rhetorical?
I got the pricing of the 1M off the big info release on this site, first page... first post, you have to click "pricing" http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=463733 I got the Porsche pricing off the US website; http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayman/cayman-r/ I have no idea why the Cayman is priced as high as it is... name presitge I guess. |
