Gorgeous car... But a 3 cylinder....!
Maybe buying a sports car with a 3 cylinder engine could be a statement that you're happy with the size of a certain part of your body? |

Wtf!^^^
I think you belong in the dodge str8 forums man. 3 cylinders, 0-60 under 6 secs, hybrid/saves gas! That sounds good to me. I'm just being straight forward. |

YAWN !!! But, might as well get used to it. Cars of the future won't be as loud as they are now. I suppose that is a good thing.

That was low rpm part throttle at best. There was a video before with this engine in a 1 series hauling ass and it sounded really good. Kind of sounds like an older Ferrari V12 in my opinion.

How much will this car retail?
Just want to know the ballpark price on it. $125k? $140k? Sounds really good at 2:11...

I actually think it sounds pretty damn cool
I really would not be able to deal with those skinny wheels, though. It looks like a prius!

I so want to love this car, and I do think it looks great. But to me the sound of a sports car is just as important as how it performs.
This one just leaves me unimpressed. Maybe there Will be an M8 in the future with a better sounding engine |
