Tuner imagines BMW M10

09/18/2006, 12:20 AM

By admin

Automotive tuning firm Racing Dynamics has published an illustration of what it calls the RS55 Coupe — a tuned version of BMW’s yet-to-be-announced next-gen super coupe. Racing Dynamics reckons the “BMW M10″ — the basis for its tuner car — will be on the market in 2009. The uprated edition will have 655 horsepower and a top speed in excess of 215 mph, the tuner says. Since Racing Dynamics is unlikely to have any special inside information on BMW’s plans, we suspect this illustration and product plan is strictly fantasy. Nonetheless, the artists’ rendering provides yet another glimpse at where BMW might be headed. Full image after the jump…

BTW Hidden_Hunter,

What makes this car look “ricey” to you?
I know your type. Your the typical person who calls anything “rice” that doesn’t look like you’d want it to. If you don’t like it, maybe you should hit the drawing board and design something better. Maybe you can even market your design and compete with Racing Dynamics. Then you can come back to LLN and post your design and make me feel stupid.

BMW ought to look at this. They need a supercar right now, to get into the SLR/Murcielago/Carrera GT segment.

Andre, so if you criticised say a Ssangyong for being ugly I could just say well go draw a better one and it makes it instantly a good looking car because you couldn’t do better?

The whole point of a forum is to express an oppinion and I feel it’s an ugly car, is there something wrong with that?

looks cool but i’m not into the “hot-roddish” hood.
those headlights look nothing at all like a passat’s headlamps… in any of its generations

I am sure of two things.

1.It will be good looking in the classic BMW sense.

2. It will be fast and have razor sharp handling.

It’s a pretty good looking car. It looks like it shares a tad too much with z4. The only thing that really bugs me is the Lotus Exige looking hood.

I think this is how the new M Coupe should look like. Love this design.

This picture has been out for about a year now on their site. I know, because I occasionally go through this site, mulling over the V12 engine upgrade. BTW, they mention 655hp, coincidentally, that is also the most powerful engine that Racing Dynamics has to offer, the RD75. If you look at the M6 section, they mod the V10 engine to produce about 640HP.

Now, suppose BMW does come out with this car and RD mods it. My guess is the 655hp is RD installing their RD75 motor.

Finally, Racing Dynamics isn’t the only tuner to offer a V12 engin upgrade for the 6-series. G-power also offers one too.

I just think you should back up your claims. You say the car eaten up by “rice”, yet you have yet to explain why it’s “ricey” to you.
For example, if I called you “ignorant”. Of course you know i’d have to explain why I find you ignorant.

Holy crap Andre, that’s what I’ve been trying to get out of these guys but they never seem to get it. Or maybe they’re just hiding it cause they don’t know how to uhh… back up their emotional outbursts? Just check out Renton’s comment. It’s a freakin drawing out of some guy’s imagination!

Renton Renton…. I wasn’t the one who jacked off after seeing some unofficial drawing of his favorite brand. Damn somebody needs a new “life”…

You assumed I “jacked off” over a drawing. You assume a lot. Like I’ve said before, you read into things.

Veda….. you’re a douche. Re-read my post. I never said this was THE prototype. I just said it was going to be fast, great handling and going to be more old school BMW. It was you who decided that I jizzed all over the place over a concept.

I know you are a girl. No man would argue like you do. Calling people out to “back up” their statements. As far as I’m concerned, you are hardly the bastion of knowledge.

“Re-read my post. I never said this was THE prototype. I just said it was going to be fast, great handling and going to be more old school BMW. It was you who decided that I jizzed all over the place over a concept.”

Umm yea ok… And how do you know it’s “going to be fast, great handling and going to be more old school BMW” based on some drawing not authorized by BMW? Ok stop drooling bias and go see a shrink now. Damn, I didn’t expect this whole new level of Renton or “Ranting” is it?

How do I know its going to be fast? Are you stupid?

It is a BMW. What else do you need to know.

You’re such a stupid slag. Ummm…..for someone who demands people to back up their statements, you for the most part just spout noise.

“It is a BMW. What else do you need to know.”

Yeap… you just explained yourself. Now I know what kind of person I’m dealing with. Thank you for letting everybody see that. Ha ha…

All the high performance BMWs are fast, and they have fantastic handling. If you can’t swallow that , it shows the huge bias you show against BMW.

I am not the only person on this board who digs Bimmers.
