Adding AWD to overcome a chassis that has poor mechanical grip is a band-aid.. however... you can get an M5 with AWD now if you like AWD that much. |
When you put 450+ hp to two wheels you're going to have an issue with mechanical grip there's no f'ing way around it you can't keep adding horsepower without adding a couple extra drive wheels.
I am sure you will agree.
Otherwise you need a McLaren P1. |
Or.. you just need an M2. ??
BMW has the same suspension setup in three F8x vehicles. The shorter wheelbase M2 does NOT have the issues with putting down torque that the M3/M4 does.
The same thing happened the other way when BMW put the E9x suspension under the E82 1M. The 1M was the chassis that couldn't put the power to the ground whereas E9x was considered to be sublime.
With turbos BMW is still trying to sort out how to get all the power to the ground. They are improving ... from the 1M to F8x M3/M4 to M2.
Perhaps the next Generation they will actually have it sorted. |
The 1M is symbolic & sanctimonious.
