My next car has to be an 850csi!

[Magnus]

I have to search for a long time and save up some dough.....but it's got to be a 850csi with a zeemax kit. Dude it's trick! I'm tired of dreaming about one!



The 850 CSi has a 5567 cc S70 V12 2x
SOHC 24 Valve engine, who produces 381 BHP/ 280 kW @ 5300 RPM. And that is before chip-tuning. It's
maximum torque of 550 Nm comes out @ 4000 RPM. The 850 CSi has a maximum speed of 315 kph/ 196mph. In
5.6 seconds it sprints from 0 to 100 kph/ 60 mph. It has 4 wheel steering and a 6-way stick-shift gearbox. The 850
CSi is 478 cm long, 186 cm long and 133 cm high. The wheelbase is 268.4 cm and it weighs 1975 kg.

The 850CSi only comes in a 6 speed. 200 of them were imported to the US for model year 94 and 95. It is considered an ///M car with its ///M motor, ///M suspension, ///M designed body kit, ///M gauges, ///M interior enhancements and ///M Vin# starting with the infamous WBS.

A good friend of mine has a 1997 Dinan 850ci.
It has every possible Dinan mod, its a spectacular vehicle

Talk about insane torque down low...

Not to go off.......But the Mitsubishi 3000 GT had all wheel drive and all wheel steer!

The European 850CSi's has something called AHK which would constantly readjust the rear camber angles to simulate assisted rear wheel steering. This made the car handle like a much lighter car. I believe the Honda Prelude used a similar setup to make up for the fact that it was FWD.

Yes I know this. I meant to say I had never heard of this on the 8 series before. Mitsubishi has 4WS on the Galant VR-4 as well. Nissan also has the Super HICAS system which functions the same way.

Interesting, I did not know about the BMW setup. You are correct about the Prelude though...
