Hartge H50 V10

[matek]

The next generation in Hartge is the H50 V10 in other words a 3 series with the V10 from a M5 put in place of the normal engine.

Doesn't that sound nice. Just opened new issue of Evo so cant post you the pics but im sure that in a few days they will be on the website so either i or someone else will post pics of this demon.

The V10 has been tweeked by Hartge because in there mind 500 bhp isn't near enough for their 3 series so they have bumped it up to 550BHP !!!!

Bonnet vents along the length the bonnet ensure that the engine remains cool and operational at 100% at all times:P

Engine: V10, 4999cc, 40V
Max Power : 550BHP @7750 RPM
Max Torque: 384lb ft @ 6100RPM
Top Speed: 199Mph (claimed)
0- 62mph : 4.2 sec (estimated)
Basic price: £117,000
On sale: now

Evo Rating:
+ The ultimate Supercar- bating saloon
- Somewhat expensive for a 3-series.

All in all sounds like a pretty mean machine:p

There ya go thought i might aswell scan it in:)

[Ginja Ninja]

awesome! next comes the supercharger

[matek]

Its a naturally asperated V10 with 550bhp you want a supercharger boy your head is in the cloads but still some twot will do it:p

only 10"s on the rears? that thing would bag its tyres something shocking

Huzzuh! Found a pic for you.

[Piacki_117]

Amazing car. I looks very nice, I want a one!

[MrKipling]

I always wanted to turn the old shape M3 into a mid-rear engined V10 jobbie with M5 running gear. Oh for a lottery win.

[RazaBlade]

It says this thing would cost near £120K. What the hell?!?!? Twice as much as an M5??? Even if I had money to burn I wouldnt buy it. I admire it as a feat of craziness, but nothing more. Why would you buy a car with less space than the M5? Why not just spend the extra £60K tuning up your own M5!!!

Or get a 911 Turbo!!

[matek]

He He well answer why do people buy pimped out X5s with massive engines its the same principle.:p

And if you had it in normal colours on the street think what you could do to the self esteme of Ferrari owners or Porsche owners:p

[RazaBlade]

true i agree with the point of having it in normal colours, thats more up my street.

But its still a different prospect to the X5, theres no other bodyshape for an X5 if you see what I mean. The ultimate sleeper would be a 7series body with a high tuned engine, that would give you lots of comfort inside too....

[matek]

Nah its all about the 6 series now thats the BMW id have tuned well the only one id have:p ooo with a big chumky V10 tuned to 550bhp or more:p

[RazaBlade]

thats only 50 more than the M6.... need at least 650 to make it worthwhile!!

[matek]

hehe well okay uve convinced me:p

The B7 is one amazing car.

Loved the Autocar test on it. They described how a guy in a 750i cruising at 155mph would be shocked to see another '7-series' rocket past at 180+. Thats what Im talking about!!!

[F1_Master]

Alpina has always made some fantastic looking cars never really adding to much outside flare.

Yes, the B7 is friggin' beautiful.
I would buy it over any 7 Series anyday, including the day they ever decide (stupidily) to build a M7.
