The result is 380hp and 740 Nm of torque and 0-62 in 4..7 seconds. If you don't have access to video at work, the turbo usage breaks down like this:
Low RPM : One small turbo with variable geometry
Medium-High RPM : One small turbo with variable geometry + One big turbo
High RPM-max power : Two small turbos with variable geometry + One big turbo

Sounds like something that would be pretty scary to own outside of warranty...

I agree. Though in my opinion owning any newer performance car (especially turbo performances cars) out of warranty seems scary.

Hooray more things to break!
I see the current BMW lineup of turbo-powered vehicles going for very little money on the used car market, as I can imagine replacing twin and triple turbo chargers is going to be pricey (dealer quotes 8 hours to replace the unit on a 335i plus the cost of new parts). Are these things going to fall apart after 100,000 miles?

Well I'll be damned. I called bullshit when I first heard rumors of this back in 2010. Didn't realize it was officially headed to production.

Hmmm.... I wonder whether a graphene reinforced turbine would surpass this setup. It'd be capable of spooling an order of magnitude faster.

Are you sure this one doesn't use a belt driven turbo...

Diesel, no thanks.
