BMW has achieved great performance with efficiency using twin turbos and precise fuel injection. All Z4s come with straight 6 engines, the higher end models feature twin turbochargers and an aluminum crankcase. Output of 300hp means the Z4 sDrive35i accelerates to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds.

The supercharger feeds twin intercoolers, giving 617hp or 460 kW and torque is 780 Nm or 580 lb-ft. The marriage of a formula one team and Mercedes has produced some incredible technology.
