Lets get real.....

obviously if you drive it like you stole it, it will drink fuel......450hp costs money.

But.....IF you wanted to return good figures out of it.....it is not beyond the realms of possiblity to get close to figures for the N55.

That is the beauty of Turbo charging.....you get two engines in one

converted you yet? .........didn't think so
