Yes, that’s 7 minutes and 22.8 seconds or 5 seconds faster than the Pagani Zonda F Clubsport (7:22.82 - see video here)! The car that managed to shame the Zonda is a 2003 BMW M3 CSL fine tuned by the owner Anders Fransson while the driver was Swedish racing star Richard Göransson. Dubbed “Loaded”, the M3 CSL is equipped with a Vortech watercooled supercharger that sends 532.7 HP to the rear-wheels. "The changes made on the car are not that advanced really. It has a supercharger, a rollcage for safety, the weight has been reduced and it has other brakes and suspension. It is an amazing feeling to be able to beat supercars like the Koenigsegg CCR, Pagani Zonda F and Porsche Carrera GT with our M3 CSL," said Fransson.
What’s even more impressive though is that the car’s owner, Anders Fransson will sell the supercharged BMW M3 CSL through a unique bid via the site bid2aid.com. "It works in the way that the person placing the lowest unique bid gets the car. That means you could place a bid of 2 euro and get the car! It is a great chance for enthusiasts and others to get this very special car for a very special price! It is also a good way for us to repay everyone for all the support we have received in this project," said Fransson.
May the lowest bidder win –whatever than means…
Facts: "Loaded"
The car is approved and inspected by TüV. The engine, with supercharger, produce around 530 rear wheel horse power and is prepared by ESS Tuning in Norway. Brakes and dampers are upgraded and a rollcage has been fitted for safety. The weight of the car has been reduced with carbonfibre parts like the bonnet, fenders, bumpers, doors and roof. Aerodynamic aids like a rear wing and front splitter are mounted to make the car more stable at high speeds.

The modifications and fine tuning have been done by BMW-guru Tom Schirmer at Schirmer Race Engineering in Germany.

Too bad it's not even close to a streetable car They managed to shave off 700lbs, I'm impressed!

I don't understand this "lowest unique bid" concept..
I bid -50 euros...you now give me the car..and 50 euros.

Everyone places a "bid" and it's usually down to 1/100ths of a euro/dollar (or a penny, whatever they call it over there). The winner is simply the lowest bid that no one else has.

If I bid $1.40 and you bid $1.39, but 9 other people bid $1.39, than I still win the car.

ahh...gotcha, I guess i skimmed over the meaning of "unique" Thanks for the clarification..

now i have to find a way to hack this concept.

[Dark-Hawk]

You have to figure, thousands of people are going to be bidding for like $1 to $10, and then even more for $10-100, so on and so forth, the "lowest unique bid" will probably be somewhere in the 20-40K euro range I'd imagine.

With that said, that car is amazing, I cannot imagine how it would feel to get driven around the Ring on a full tilt run like that.

If I had posted this in Automotive, it would have been moved to the Audio/video section.

No rhyme or reason here.

[Dark-Hawk]

So it costs 5 euros per bid you put in on that car; fuck that.

[TajMan]

Incredible
yes we must find some way to hack this bidding system so WE win and very low $ :suspect2:

[Twin-Turbo]

You know, I usually hate and dispise M3's, and BMW's in general because the people who drive them. But that thing is tearing shit up.

[Chris GTO TT]

that was awesome. the sound of that motor was killer.

I showed my uncle the vid tonight at thanksgiving dinner, he was gonna e-mail it to a friend that races a BMW at the Nurburgring every year or something. That uncle just got a 2003 M3 convertible himself.
