I can only guess the engine is still under development.
IMHO they could make better power running one of the alcohol fuels such as Methanol.
I commend them on the other technical advances. | My thoughts exactly, although 6.0L is actually only 366ci (so it gets a boost to .63hp/ci; not good at all, especially for folks like me).
Gain points for being unique, but lose them for taking this long (Chrylser debuted a working fuel cell in the '50s). Styling is also typical BMW (that is, bad). |
