CSL!!!

[catherinej]

I can't see it.

Can anyone get a picture up?

[E38]

Looks good!

[nbetts]

MMMmmmmmm - That M3 Concept does look good. Reminds me of some of the CSL Concepts that came out before the CSL Launch

[d1bble]

I wasn't ready for that, having seen the 'spy' photos (which didn't look too hot)

Front and side shots are simply stunning (a little e46'ish?)

Would have loved to have seen the arse.

[TonySim]

They will have a recording available on the above link soon.......the V8 sounded very nice.......cant wait.......

[rassi]

Looks very nice! Interesting to see how many of the details (especially the carbon roof, the special wing mirrors and the air-outlets on the bonnet) make it into production. A bit sketchy on the technical details, though.

[Mr Whippy]

There will probably me more details coming...

I rekon all the details will stay.

295lb/ft of torque? Is that true? Thought the V8 would produce a little more. I assume no weights have been release. I would like to see nearer to 10 secs for 100mph rather than nearer to 11 secs.
