That rear camber looks bit and the back end doesn\'t look too great (too tall) but other than that it\'s pretty sweet.

that\'s just the prototype, won\'t be avaliable for the market in the next 2~3 years~
besides, either BMW of Audi can\'t beat this one, why would you spend same amount of money and get a slower car? lol

the reason why the tires look so sticking out~ that\'s bcoz they use wide tires, but the body is too narrow, so they have to adjust the back camber, so the tires won\'t rub the fender~ it\'s
racing style wheel setting man...that camber setting is probably -3 or more.

how do you know they can\'t beat it? in 2-3 years who knows what\'s up their sleaves

take your s40 and compare it to the M3 CSL, sure it\'s got less horses but #s is not all that counts (btw, your new super duper volvo has no numbers associated with it so on paper it sux)

you would buy \'some BMW or some Audi\' for same $$ and you get the luxury, sport feeling and the extreeme engineering that goes into the machine. it also gives you the \'prestige factor\' as well as much better styling and looks.

btw if you think it\'s not fair to compare, a fully loaded regular s40 is 50K (add 10-20K for this s40) M3 is 75K and we\'re pretty much even..

S40 is also a luxuary car, and it was only my personal opinion, so relax majic. ;)
and i am not talking about other cars in 2 3 years, this S40 is going to be on sale in Europe in 2006, and M3 won\'t able to beat this one, M3 is not that fast as you thought, trust me~ a regular STi can keep up with it, not to mention this one has 425hp turbocharged. and by the way, M3 CSL is way more expensive than this S40 man..Base Price: 2003 BMW M3 CSL - £58,455? its like 133k in CAD..lol you can get two S40 for that price..take this kinda money to modifiy a normal S40 and it will still beat your M3..lol

I think BMW and Audi cars are all over priced, they are only selling the brand name, in terms of luxuary you need to spend more than 50k or even 60k on the car? lez take BMW 325i for example, the car starts at $39,900 and what do you get? none, not even a power seat, heated seats extra..lol, and only 184hp? why don\'t i just get a Camry XLEV6 with everything? that\'s more luxury than a 325i? so what if you drive a \"bimmer\"? :)
