| Re: Auto-Spies "turbocharged 7er?"
It's Always a "world exclusive" ???????? April 2005 RFK Quote: |
The RFK is expected to feature a V8 and a twin turbo V8 petrol.
| X5 Quote: |
When new Turbo petrol engines arriving these will be phased in as the top model.
| Turbo charged powertrains Quote: |
The six cylinder twin turbo charged engine will expand to a twin turbo 8 cylinder V8 , a twin turbo V12 is an idea on the table for the next 7er as is a variation of a twin turbo V16 developed from Rolls-Royce to top the next 7er.
| Projekt F01 7er Quote:
Sorry these are only test beds underneath the funny looking bonnet is the upcoming Turbo charged V8 that will see the first light of day in the X5 before arriving in the 7er , RFK and X6 SAC. They are testing cooling and front structures hence the low front end that will be part of the new F-01 7er.
The Turbocharged V8 follows closely the formula with the six cylinder - efficiency with excitement .
| August 2005. Quote: |
In design the radical approach is very much in element - snake like eyes surround a widened twin kidney grille . The whole rear end of the car lifts up with the trunk lid now part of the rear wings - a strong shoulder line connects the mid section of the body and the rear lights wrap onto the bootlid. The LWB features larger shaped front lights and a long light strip along the rear trunk lid. Engines will start from new V8 including twin turbo , petrol and diesel , a new twin turbo V12 and next generation top line diesel engine , hydrogen power will also be available from the start of production.
