Anyone knows how those wheels are called? I see them on alot of Japanese cars.

RS Watanabe They are seemingly on every "japenese tuner car" right now. It's almost the default wheel for older cars.

Boost on idle? What.

If i understand correctly it works sort of like a turbine with the boost being forced into the chamber and then gas is injected and ignited which produces "exhasut pulses" that spool the turbo which forces more boost into the combustion chamber then more gas. Super interesting idea.

DEI seems so much simpler.

Isedera Imperator (no. 14 of 30) driven balls-out on a wet Nordschleife. The smoke at 3:25 is tyre smoke from the right front tyre rubbing against the wheel well lining, which is where the air intake for the interior ventilation is also conveniently housed.

Amazing car. The closer you get to it, the more beautiful it is.

Yeah, I really liked how the guy explained the engineering and physics behind it.

So, apparently G-power put a supercharged M3 engine in a 1M. Behold, the G-Power G1:

Lets put an M3 motor in a 1-series... No, not enough... Lets put a super-charged M3 motor in a 1-series!

Supercharged V12... nothing less will do it.

Like Clarkson would say it " POOOOOOWER"

Highly powered, short wheel base car? I see no problem there!

Personally, I would stick to the straight 4. The BMW M12/13!
