The 31-year-old Englishman, dropped by front-line outfit Ganassi in 2005, has landed a deal with the team owned by Indy legend AJ Foyt for 2007. “Next year will be big for us,” said Foyt. “We are determined to improve our programme and hire a driver with circuit and oval experience. Darren fits the bill. He runs hard, and wants to win as much as I do.”
BMW has Mercedes" monstrously...
BMW has Mercedes" monstrously powerful S63 AMG in its sights! These are the pictures that prove BMW is ready to launch a incredible M7 version of its flagship luxury saloon.
As you can clearly see in our close-up images, the front spoiler has been completely reworked for a more dynamic look, and to provide better cooling to the engine and brakes. An M3-style bonnet bulge has also been added in order to accomodate the larger engine. The hood will also be made from alumimium to take some weight away from the nose and help to ensure perfect 50-50 weight distribution.
The most likely candiadate for providing the M7"s power is the 550bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 fitted to the X6M and X5M - that"s more horsepower than the S63 AMG and the most powerful Porsche Panamera. A 0-60mph time of under 4.5 seconds means performance should be well within the supercar bracket, too.
