“90 percent of peak torque available from 2,350 rpm to redline”
lost me 1000% on that.. I’d rather drive a sweet sounding anemic 4.6L than higher powered anything with “synthetic” sounds (or bad sounds in general).As far as sound..they can pipe in any sound into the cabin today, I believe BMW already does that.
That said, it certainly is not going to be a replacement for the Hellcat engine which I hope will still be offered even if its a super premium option.
