For more info check out Inhabitat’s write up on this new piece.

Tucked neatly under the hood, this smooth-revving inline 6 cylinder is equipped with direct Piezo gasoline injectors and two turbochargers generating 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque, providing a thrilling experience similar to a small V8, yet with responsible efficiency. Just a little extra “va per voom” to give it the unmistakable and undeniable power you”.As if the inline twin turbo’d six wasn’t enough, it also pays homage to it’s race car brethren with 50/50 weight distribution and rear wheel drive. If you’re like us, and not planning on cruising in this car anytime too soon, BMW was kind enough to make a template to make your own paper 1 series.  Maybe a small taunting slap in the face screaming nah nah na boo boo… but you can still have one on your desk and keep your pride intact.
