Other Vehicle Dynamics Systems are receiving an overhaul as well and new features will appear on the F90. As these systems have evolved, they've gone from reactive, semi-active, active, predictive and now-proactive. A hint: Mapping of every popular race track has been occurring and continues. I know rear wheel steering is being evaluated. There are subtle hints in the videos and spy photos to support this. As to which system specifically would appear in production, that is if it does, is unknown. The BMW Integral Active Steering as known is coupled. Both left and right rear toe links are coupled with a central actuator to change the virtual toe link point of the rear wheels. The Porsche System is independent to each strut and uses a variable toe link with static points. This allows one wheel to be independently "steered" in certain situations (lift off snap oversteer for example), or both wheels in tandem. The latter type is the most appropriate for an ///M vehicle application. DSC should be the next evolution of Bosch VDC 9+ and include more settings that retain the safety functions, but also enhance the performance potential. There will be the usual "off" setting allowing near complete driver responsibility (ABS and other Active Safety Features still remain active as they do now). With all this tech and AWD, comes some weight gain. To offset this and take advantage of CLAR, the F90 will have some slight differences to the G30 (more expensive). It is my understanding now, the G30 will not be using Carbon Core but the F90 will use part of it. Magnesium, Aluminum, CFRP, and Carbon Fiber will be more prevalent to try and achieve a weight loss of 75-150kg. The engine will be a Twin Turbo V8 with an output of 610-640bhp and feature Water Injection. The S63 designation will most likely remain, but it is not the S63TU2 in the F85/86. More than one technical variant may appear as well. |

Says who! All I know is the B&O is the best sounding OEM factory car audio system I've ever heard,...in any car ever! How can this claim be made on a car that has yet to be sold?
