Did anyone else notice the distint Lack of body roll. 
That thing sat very flat. Those tyres were complaining heaps but the car pointed well.
I'm no expert by any means but that sounded like a V-10 to me.
It was to bumpy for the silky smooth eights BMW produce.
That looked like a standard exhaust system, so I recon it may have been a 10. 
Also by the fact it was flying. Put a decent set of wheels and tyres, and that thing hammers. 
Performance is very high on my priority list. The rest is just a pose.
I think the handling characteristics are going to be defineately next generation.

Sounds like a V8 to my ears.
Is it just me, or does it look a lot taller in the video than the pictures make it seem??
