Hi Everyone,

What are your thoughts on the RD (R75 SC) motor?

"A new direct-injection, Valvetronic? 7.5 liter V-12 pushing 655 HP through a 6-Speed SMG II Sequential gearbox, make the Typhoon Roadster (R75 SC) the top performer in the Racing Dynamics range, and the most powerful car we have ever built".

Anyone considering R75 Motor conversion?

RDSport actually has the RS 56 Motor for the M5!

"True to its tradition, once again RDSport discounts the easier forced-induction route and pushes the envelope of its normally aspirated motors to a new level.
The V-10 RS 56 uses much of the same technology found in the latest F1 motors: billet crankshaft, billet rods, and a set of forged pistons that are amongst the lightest to ever find their way into a production-based motor.
The ported cylinder heads boast 17% more efficiency than the stock ones, and this is mainly obtained through the use of larger valves and modified cam profiles."
