Press release:
Currency Motor Cars is proud to introduce the first of an unprecedented line of supercars. This flagship model is an ingeniously modified 2006 BMW M5 that can reach a top speed of 240 mph. This makes it the fastest, most powerful luxury 4-door sedan on the planet. CMC co-founder, Ron Cash, has brilliantly outfitted BMW's compression V-10 engine with twin-turbo chargers and a custom inter-cooler system to kick out an astonishing 800+ horses. No one in the world has been able to achieve this...until now.

This is the only car of its kind.

The mind-boggling power of this vehicle is complimented by the exquisite alterations of it's interior. The leather in the steering wheel, arm rests and dash is the same as the leather in the seats. Fully aniline dyed Florida alligator in black. Only the finest suede and leathers have been used, much like the old Delahaye and Bugatti roadsters in the 1930's. This custom interior is all meticulously hand stitched, designed and installed by Judy Amic-Angelo, one of the the most respected product designers in the country.

yeah curious to know why too

1) by mounting behind, there should be pressure lost by the time it reached behind
2) u cant see the glory unless u lift the car tongue.gif

It's only fitted there because there's no extra room in the engine bay IIRC smile.gif

Last time there's an article somewhere that says it's actually better to have the turbo at the rear of the car, the piping will act as an intercooler, and exhaust has less kickback, while offer similar performance. Not sure where the article had gone though.

hey, is that the CAT? and silencer? huh? how do the exhaust gas push up the turbine blades if there's restriction? and why is the compressed air is routed to the rear? huh.gif

I cant imagine if this car were driven in the rain.. ouch.

old news....

his turbo setup is what i'm planning for my car.
ststurbo.com - read more about it there. low boost, around 0.4 to 0.8 bar, but its good enough for a fat torque curve thumbup.gif

1) the only thing that changes is the exhaust Ve = pressure. Air mass, however is retained. (of course what, since the engine is pumping the same amount of air in)
benefits include lower turbo temperatures and lower charged air intake temp (since the charge pipes also act somewhat as a heatsink, think heatpipe)

2) there's no glory involved until you beat a 600bhp saleen mustang without him knowing biggrin.gif that's what i call sleeper.

the cat is still located at the eader, and since the turboes are AFTER the cat, it passes emmisions regulations in claif and florida. there is no compressed air routed to the rear, in fact, the compressed air comes from the rear.

purpotedly, the turboes run cooler, hence even there's a standing pool of water like what you get in KL roads and on the north south highway, there's no damage, like what you get when splashing (not to be confused with drenching) water on a hot cast-iron manifold

ive read bout this car sumwhere too.. its now the fastest 4 door saloon in the world, beating the previous record that was set by the brabus cls..

ive also read sumwhere b4 that mounting the turbo at the rear like that is actually better, coz its gonna be cooler than putting it in the engine bay.. actually this method is kinda popular these days wit serious pimpers in the states if im not mistaken.. though, the only reason they did it in the 1st place was theres not enough place in the engine bay.. so when they did this, they found out its actually cooler..
