BMW X5 Le Mans

So we've all seen the F1 espace, and the ford supervan.

How about an X5 with a Le Mans Mclaren F1 V12?

Not sure this is a repost, did a search couldn't find anything.

listen to the sound of that thing!!

Great sounding engine

I'd have thought they would have used something more modern - then again it might be explained in the vid - I don't speak German

Jesus, how flat is that thing whilst cornering :eek:

Hunders · 7 Mar 2009 at 17:14

Haha! That video is so funny! It's almost as if they have put the sound of a Maclaren over the video of an X5. It just doesn't sound right!

Helios1234 · 7 Mar 2009 at 17:20

I'm sure it looked like the video was fast forwarded!!

Now that is was you call an X5

I can remember watching the F1 Espace go up the hill at goodwood. Something incredibly strange about hearing a screaming F1 engine, but seeing a people carrier go by!

shame they never put it into production

Phil W · 7 Mar 2009 at 20:56

That looks really rigid and flat through the bends!

/edit - All that German and he thrown in "Sports Utility Vehicle"

Good find. Stuck is one of my heroes and thats about the wildest x5 we're ever likely to see. Uber cool.

That's insane where can I order one?

helpimcrap · 7 Mar 2009 at 22:08

that. sounds. mad.

Sweet Jebus on a tricycle.

I'm gonna put a Veryon engine in a Berlingo, and see how that goes.

Find a better BMW built engine

The engine from the McLaren F1 was, and still is superb. Best engine produced by BMW IMO.

PinkFloyd · 7 Mar 2009 at 23:17

Fair point!

I'd love to see the McLaren F1 modernized to see how it goes against modern supercars

Well at least it is clear where most of those 45k went.

To you it may be dire. To others it is not. Whats your point ? Oh you don't like it.... haha. K. We see that now. Move along
