Those turbos...they sit so so far from the engine bay

I don't understand the point of the article.

Start of article: let me tell you about the fastest 4 door saloon.. IN THE WORLD.

End of article: nope, just kidding. no one tested it, plus the gearbox and turbo set up probably would not have allowed it to reach the claimed top speed anyway.

k thx bye.

WTF?

Yeah it is a bit of a pointless article, but his opening paragraph is interesting regarding the E60's mechanical speed it's designed to reach compared to modern cars.

We'll be the first to put turbos in the back. :cartel: What were they thinking :facepalm:

Rear mounted turbos is nothing new.

But there is a reason almost no one does it... Its very inefficient:hammerhead:

From about 2 months ago, Drive Tribe went from well written motoring articles to clickbait. Even their FB mobile links are now spamming me with ads. Bye bye DT...
