Pff what would you call it. ///R1
R from Recycle.
It s certainly not worty to put an M1 name on. There not the usual developments on this car like most ///M have had. This car only exist because they can use parts which have already been made from other AG and //M cars. Just to wring the last money out of those old parts.
An M1 would have a lightweight engine with lightweight drivetrain. A small ///M diff with lightweight 4 or 6 pot brakes nice racy seats alcantara steeringwheel. New parts. Not some grab from the parts bin parts M1.

Well said........well said.
///M has become that great friend of yours who becomes famous and begins to forget what got them there, and begins acting like a douche and stops working hard.
