BMW M1 to come with 350HP

Friday, January 8th, 2010

BMW usually makes an M version of their vehicles, and after saying they wouldn’t, they will now make an M version of the 1-series. The new twin-turbo I6 M1 is rumored to have 350HP under the hood, and we’re sure there’s quite a bit of potential for more. Autocar says that the new M1 will be released sometime next year and has already been in development. The new M1 is said to include a a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, an M-designed differential, improved suspension and cool new body work.

Gran Turismo 5 Screen Shots

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I’ve never really paid attention to racing simulator screen shots that the video companies release (from both GT and Forza), because it’s usually not how the game looks while you’re playing it. Game play, physics and track and car selection is what interest me. Screen shots from the new Forza 3 were released a while back, now it looks like the first screen shots of the new, and long awaited, Gran Turismo 5 are here. The shots seem to be menu pictures, no game play or cinema shots, but it still looks pretty darn good. The shots show the Japanese Super GT-spec Nismo GT-R in all it’s hot JDM glory.

There’s been a lot of PS3 news lately, with the new PS3 Slim and GT5. Gran Turismo fans can be proud, the (arguably) best racing simulator game franchise is making a comeback. GT5 is said to have 1000 cars, damage rendering and rollover crashes. You can also import your favorite replay footage to YouTube.
