It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar And then @sergio@piefed.social came through with the link for launch control: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_control_(automotive) Launch control is an electronic aid to assist drivers of both racing and street cars to accelerate from a standing start. Motorcycles have been variously fitted with mechanical and electronic devices for both street and race. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago (1 child) Alcohol may have played a part in his decision to do that permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] stringere@sh.itjust.works [S] 5 points 4 months ago Alcohol?
