Скачать или смотреть BMW Built a Future Race Car in 2009 ⏳🤯

They built this in 2009 - yet it feels like it belongs twenty years in the future.

Every detail of the BMW 320si WTCC was engineered for milliseconds. The body was stripped to bare metal, reinforced with a full FIA roll cage, and tuned for perfect balance. The result: a chassis so precise it could change direction faster than most modern supercars.

Under the hood sat a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder, built by BMW Motorsport and capable of revving past 8,500 RPM. Every cylinder was blueprinted by hand. Every gram mattered.

It used a sequential gearbox with automatic throttle-blip, allowing drivers to downshift without touching the clutch – a system rarely seen outside top-tier racing at the time. Paired with an ultra-light carbon intake, full telemetry, and dry-sump lubrication, this was a car designed to live on the limit.

Even the refueling system and steering wheel were built for seconds saved, not style points.
