Where fly the champagnekurken against the ceiling and which motorenbouwer should go back to the drawing board?
BMW may bierpullen in each case out of the closet, because the Bavarian manufacturer has won with the hybrid drive system of the i8 the overall victory in the wait. In terms of handling characteristics convinced the hybrid mid our not quite yet, thanks to the narrow voorbandjes and the associated understeer. Motor BMW has, however, thick for each other. Gratuliere!
Overall saw the image as follows:

The 1.5 block from BMW, of course, was also the best new engine. Ferrari took the 4.5 V8 from the 458 with the prize for the best performancemotor. That’s also the last feat of the atmospheric achtcilinder, which actually has already been repaid by the blown 3.8 from the 488 GTB and California T. Moreover, we are curious who the next year the price for engines up to 4-liter packs, as a Ferrari with the same 488 the struggle to compete with McLaren.
In the other classes is much the same compared to last year. In addition to the hybrid powertrain of the BMW i8 is the 1.2 cube from PSA a newcomer in the list. The 2.5 TFSI Audi seems to have enough positive points to any olieprobleempjes to the background to penetrate, the engine picks up the prize in the class up to 2.5 litres.
These are the winners by class:
