The car originally came with a turbocharged N55 inline-six however they swapped it for a 4.0 L S65 V8 from a E92 M3. The factory-spec motor produces 414 horsepower and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Brintech Customs carried over the rest of the E92 M3 drivetrain including the front and rear subframes. This means power is sent to the wide 295\/30\/19 rear tires through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and 210 mm limited-slip differential. The finishing touch to the project is a full 1M body kit. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/YGOlvM3JDqU\"
