Damn I never seen that, turbos in the rear? Doesnt it make the turbos easy to get damaged, corroded, and those long pipes from the rear to the engine restrict airflow gradient?

My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I saw the Currency Motors car up close at this year's Bimmerfest. They were pitching it as the fastest BMW in the world with a top speed around 220mph or so and I think a 0-60 time of around 3.7sec. The interior was all done in alligator skins. There's a long thread on the M5Board on this car.
Like M500 AED stated above, none of the claims have been independently tested.

Why don't they try a supercharger. With turbos in the rear there has to be a lag. And the sound of the turbos winding up reminds me of a japanese car.

Guys this is probably the new twin turbo 410hp V8 that is due next year or so for the 5/6/7 series.
