The P1 is rear wheel drive with 900hp...while I don't have any fanatical anti-turbosim, I don't see the point of continuing making engines with this flat lug of power from 1500 RPMs to 5500 RPMs. I can understand and agree with continuing that approach in the non-M cars considering the target market. I think building on the 335 would be a good thing.
I wish the M division would just abandon the whole linear power delivery thing and just make the car drive like a normal boosted car. 4k RPMs, big lug of boost and power just kicks you in the back and then it's warp speed.
400+ ft lbs of torque at 1500 RPMs is for tractor trailers and trucks, not a sports car.
