Fastest BMW 1 Series : BMW HARTGE H1

The Hartge H1 V8 5.0 was reveled at the Essen (Germany) Motorshow in December 2004, and is available now as part of Hartge's full product range. Once again the Hartge engineers created something special, this, by transplanting a BMW 5.0L V8 into the 1 series E87. And this isn’t your normal BMW V8, as it features modified cylinder heads, revised camshaft, and its own engine software mapping; resulting in an output of 450 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. To translate this phenomenal power to the ground in the 1 Series, a special drive shaft and 6 speed manual transaxle are installed, along with a new rear sub-frame. the Hartge H1 catapults from 0-100 km/hr (0-62.5 mph) in just 4,6 sec.
