Interesting....I wonder if it will be as quick as the old X5 LeMans concept...

shouldn't be hard. Programming the ECU alone should unlock triple digit power gains. Bigger intercoolers, should be about 50-60hp. won't be surprised if they put bigger turbos on it, but that could be the final power gain needed. Don't expect anything too difficult or impressive.

they'll use the stock motor. they only need to find 350hp +/-. Fairly sure they already know how they'll do it.
