Huet Coupe RR

Apparently this thing is based on a 1M chassis.

Guess thats some validation for the 1M right there. People dont select chassis for stuff like this if it isnt good.

I think it's the M, not clear how much. According to their website:

"The chassis platform is that of a BMW Coupe 1 series M. But it is a copy of the platform in carbon fiber which molds into the monocoque. We use the BMW subframes which are bolted on the monocoque."

The top engine option is the M motor rated at 330 hp, and that motor is only available with the manual while the others are available double clutch gearboxes. Sounds like a fair bit of 1M in there. All turbo motors, though- they should have had the M3 V8 as an option.

Interesting concept. Now that I've looked at the pics on a real screen I like the shape. The long hood reminds me of the Z4 MC. That long hood could house just about any engine. The wheels look to be our 1M/M3 performance wheels so I'll take back my "no M" statement for now.
I vote Pete buys one and puts an S65 in right away.

Shaving ~300kg apparently nets you a 3.8s 0-60 time.

I'm not going to lie. I really like the way it looks. It's shape is quite similar to the Mercedes SLS.

Why would you create a car based on the 1M which has such limited production?

I figure it's highly unlikely that they're actually using 1Ms.

Since the Huet has an entirely unique body, I figure it's a 1-series chassis with upgrades suspension/drivertrain pieces from the E9x M3.

Suspect they're just trying to catch additional marketing buzz from referring to the 1M.
