| The engine was so big they had to put the radiators at the rear. What's great is that it had a 6-speed manual. ![]() |

| Fantastic find mate! Thank you! I recall Scott once said something about a V16 BMW engine, but they made no further comments on this. So this must be the proof, or just BMW decided that the V16 is no more a secret.. BTW, which magazine is this article from? ![]()
