German Tuning Specialist Alpha-N has launched the 2012 Alpha-N BMW 1M RS, or the 1M RS, an updated version of the BMW 1M.
The 1M RS is lighter and faster compared to the stock version.
It is designed according Alpha-N's vision of improving the weight on cars, which is critical in racing.
Engine
Alpha-N updated the 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine through an exhaust
system that is specially developed, a new air duct software
optimization. As a result, the powertrain can now deliver 410 horsepower
which is 70 more than the stock engine.
Performance
In order to complement the powerful engine, Alpha-N installed a
high-performance braking system. It includes braided stainless steel
lines, 380mm discs and 6 piston calipers. As a result, you get a fast
car without compromising safety.
Most of the exterior is made of carbon fiber and thus add to the
car's lightness making it nimbler than the stock model. To make the car
even lighter, Alpha-N used OZ Superforgiata rims that measure 8.5"x19"
and 10.0"x19" in the front and the rear respectively. The additional
horsepower provides cutting speed on straightaways, while the lightness
brings speed on curves.
Exterior
Focus of the improvements made by Alpha-N is not on the looks, so the
1M RS looks almost the same as the 1M. What is interesting about the 1M
RS include its ventilated hood, low spoilers, front fascia, carbon
roof, rear fascia diffuser, and luggage lid spoiler that are all made of
carbon fiber.
Interior
Alpha-N has not release interior details for the 1M RS. If you want
the team to update your BMW 1M, your interior may remain untouched. It
is safe to assume that the original interior from the factory version
remains.
Pros
If you are after performance, the 1M RS will certainly deliver what
you are looking for. The updates are competitive enough to make the BMW
1M worthy during the race. The carbon fiber parts make it extremely
light which brings speed virtually anywhere on the track.
Cons
Tuner modifications come with a price. Although Alpha-N is yet to
release their pricing, we can guess that the improvements are not going
to be cheap.
The improvements that Alpha-N made will benefit car enthusiasts. If
you are into this sport, the 2012 Alpha-N BMW 1M RS is a great choice.
