You don't need a beard to see that's not a V8. smile

E46 M3 six cylinder.

Am guessing that makes for circa 300bhp per ton? Very nice indeed.

If the wheel diameter could be an inch smaller, that would be absolutely perfect.

That is ideal, clean lines, no body kit excesses or tacky additions.

Before it's lost under the multitude of replies for that E30, I have to say that looks fantastic! Always had a soft spot for that generation of Astra and the GTE is right up there as one of my favourite hot hatches. More poke is always welcome and the execution is excellent! beer

To do this

Chap (accountant, he says) really has taught himself DIY carbon manufacturing at home to completely re-shell his Noble - And this is only a practice run for a ground-up supercar build to his own design!




Amazing work and an awesome machine - Full story here
