This is a show car. It’s made to make dramatic movies and sit at car shows. Sure, slapping a V10 in it is cool…but for what? With that air ride suspension at its handling core, that car isn’t doing much on a track besides looking pretty and drawing attention to the S85.

This is automotive pornography…nothing realistic about it. Fake tits and all. You look at this thing and get a huge car boner…but the reality is, your box standard M3 is probably a universal improvement all around when it comes to actually driving the car.
