At the end of last year, in honor of the 50th anniversary, BMW presented the most powerful model from the BMW M division, the BMW 3.0 CSL. It is based on the M4 CSL version, and the Bavarian-based company has stated that it will produce only 50 examples. Now, the first copy has reached its owner.

Under the hood is a 3.0 L inline-six engine with 560 hp (412 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

BMW 3.0 CSL is equipped with yellow LED laser lights, body made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), rear wing and the lettering on the roof, forged lightweight crankshaft, 3D printed cylinder head core, specially designed oil supply and cooling system , adaptive dampers, variable-ratio electric power steering and carbon-ceramic brakes. It is mounted on 20″ and 21″ center-locking wheels wrapped in specially developed Michelin tires.

This car is a reminder of the legendary model 3.0 CSL (E9), whose racing edition (Batmobile) dominated the racetracks around the world in the 70s. It has an extended body in the distinctive colors of the M division and with several details reminiscent of the original racing 3.0 CSL (Competition Sport Lightweight).

2023 VW Golf R 333 Limited Edition has arrived on the market

Yesterday, the limited edition of the most powerful VW Golf, the Golf R 333 Limited Edition, was premiered. It is the continuation of the story that began nine years ago when Volkswagen presented the Golf R400 concept. At the time, it was speculated that the concept would get its production version (R420), but the Dieselgate affair ended the plans for the ultimate Golf R. Now it’s here!

Golf R 333 is powered by a 2.0L gasoline engine with 333 hp (245 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).

The car is finished in yellow with black side mirrors, has a black roof and tiles on the front fenders. It is mounted on a set of 19-inch Estoril wheels and has blue brake calipers, and is equipped with an Akrapovič quad exhaust system.

Last year, we saw the premiere of the powerful hatchback called the 20 Years Edition, which marked two decades of this car. Those who wanted it, but couldn’t get it, now have the opportunity to buy the Golf R 333 Limited Edition. The first deliveries will be in September, and all those who want to have this car will have to pay 76,410 euros.
