BMW's superhatch
BMW's take on the hot hatch theme, the rear-drive 130i, will boast the most powerful six-cylinder engine the company has yet produced, excluding the M3. Thanks in part to VANOS and Valvetronic valvegear, the 3-litre straight-six pumps out 265bhp and 232lb ft of torque, enough to punch the 130i from standstill to 62mph in 6.1sec; top speed is limited to 155mph.
