The cars are becoming like Shaving razors..if two blades is good, three is better, four blades, five blades....what will a razor blade look like in 3 years.... Deca-blade by Gillete? Just make the cars lighter, now you are carrying three turbos?

+1 I have not even had my 1M a week yet, no need for a CSL for me. Perhaps in a year or 2 but right now just concentrating on running my new 1M in, roll on 1200 mile service time

I would be upset if they came out with the CSL. I wish the 1M went on a diet already. I would have been glad to get the CSL over the 1M

Don't worry, the US won't see the CSL version regardless.

Yeah, but I wouldn't mind seeing some of those ///M Performance parts that were hinted at a while back. I'd love a GTS style front splitter

Throw out the 2 back seats ... replace all glass except windscreen with perspex ... get a tune ...

Viola! Poor man's CSL.
