The actual power to weight if the estimated weight and power is correct is roughly 235~240hp/ton, this is only 15~20hp/ton down on what you get with the M3 but it will have more Nm/ton than the M3 so all things considered I reckon the performance will be very close indeed.

There is little doubt that overall these two cars (1M and M3) are catering for different needs with the M3 aimed more towards the better allrounder as always while the smaller, lighter 1M being the more focused driver's car that will be better suited to the track and dynamic driving.

A perfect addition to the M family.
