Not sure on benze's set up but would imagine new benze CL63 is using similar set up to the Audi 2,7bi-turbo , using small equal sized turbos , those huge v8 and v12 not going to suffer much from turbo lag.benze also used the bolt on supercharger .
Aha, but didn't they have a bi turbo performance engine as well? Or was that AMG's V12?
Yeah well you right yes and no, Audi have two types of v6s wide 90 and narrow vr6 . In their older 2,7biturbo 90degre used 2 small turbos ko3s or ko4 from 1,8t, but their biturbo diesel uses two different sized turbos in sequence mode @ different rmp
@ Kevin, I know, that's why I said "usually". I know that AMG and Audi are fans of the Bi Turbo, but I do not know which kind of setup they use
Or could simply mean 2 turbos one for each bank v6 . Car companys like to be complicated. The supra used the twin turbo quote to different their set up , which operated in sequential mode as opposed to parallel mode. Bi is mostly used in vee set ups
where a twin turbo setup would kick in at 4-4500rpm's giving you no benefits of the turbo until you reach that rpm, it could also be quite violent if you run high boost. In a Bi Turbo you don't get that, there are setups that spool up at 14-1500 rpms
Bi turbo is usually set up so that 1 small turbo spools up quick at low rpms and a second, larger turbo, takes over when there is enough exhaust flow for it to spool up.It gives a much smoother powerband over a twin turbo where both spools up at once
@shift knob; you are onto something, but I do believe it's the other way around. Twin being 2x equal sized chargers.
I believe bi-turbo means two parallel turbos the same size while twin-turbo means two serial turbos one larger than the other. Anyone else?

There's a reason McLaren is my favorite type of supercar. You're seeing it. (and also it's history, performance, and rivalry with Bugatti)
I think they stole the turbo system from a 4cyl thunderbird. and the suspension from a mustang 2 front end and a civic hatchback rear end with the exhaust system from an early 80s Toyota pick up.... most likely at least
I find this and the gt3 much better looking than the stock mp4 ( though I definitely have no problem with the base models styling)
its like a mclaren f1 and a lotus evoura. but i think its so beautiful,
Love the inside.. Like a simplified jet fighter.
Why would you want a stereo? The noise that thing would make would be music to my ears
Think there trying to capture the f1 racing look all well but I still wouldn't of minded a bloody stereo!
For the price of one of these I would be asking where the blowjob button is
That's not the same steering wheel they use in their F1 cars, but that's ok ;)
