2012 1-series (F20) Turbo 3-Door Hatch Spied
Reported on
1ADDICTS HOMEPAGE
.
Seen here is the most recent sighting of the upcoming 2012 1-series hatchback undergoing testing in southern Europe. The dual split exhausts out back hints at a turbo engine. It could be the rumored Tri-Turbo Petrol 4 cylinder engine, or perhaps the N54 6-cylinder twin-scroll turbo motor. The split exhausts, the extra cooling ducts up front in the camouflage, larger wheels, and what appears to be large brakes, all point to this potentially being a range topping F20 1-series. These photos also show a sportier mirror design and a more exposed rear fascia/bumper than previous F20 spy photos.
The
last sighting
of a turbo F20 1-series was nearly 10 months ago.
We expect the next generation F20 1-series to debut at the 2011 Frankfurt IAA motorshow in September 2011.
