Default 800hp BMW M5?!?!

Was looking at the pix of the Bugatti and saw this article - what I found interesting was the placement of the turbos... [:-]

Remote muffler mount turbos are becoming more and more common. I would worry about taking one off when going over speed bumps.

yea i would be worried about that as well.... or somehow ******* one of them up...

whats the point of having 810hp in a rwd street car though... and it seems a little excessive

and it cost 350,000 with car included? or just the setup alone?

I just wish that car was a little less curvy in front. Definately would not drop $350,000 on this if I had it.

It looks like Squires Turbo System set up, the remote turbo mount
