Super 2000
Super 2000 is one of the International Federation de l'Automobile tendered Regulations for touring cars and rally vehicles with 2000 cc big gasoline naturally aspirated and turbo diesel engines and 1600 cc big petrol turbo engines . In 2014 the FIA carried out a new classification for touring cars. Based on the English term touring car , Super 2000 touring cars with a 2000 cm³ engine are divided into the TC2 class and touring cars with a 1600 cm³ turbo engine are divided into the TC2T class .
Regulations
The racing cars must comply with the FIA regulations for group A and be equipped with an additional Super 2000 kit . The series vehicle must have been produced at least 2500 times in identical units. Electronic driving aids such as ABS and ESP are not permitted.
A 2000 cm³ naturally aspirated engine with a speed limiter is also required : four cylinders with a maximum of 8500 rpm, five cylinders with 8750 rpm and six cylinders with a maximum of 9000 rpm. Alternatively, the FIA Super 2000D regulations apply, which permit a 2000 cc turbo diesel engine . Since 2011, the Super 2000 regulations have also covered 1600 cc turbo gasoline engines with direct injection, known as the world engine . The speed of these engines was limited to 8500 rpm. Throttled by an air flow limiter with a diameter of 33 mm, the engine output is over 220 kW.

A minimum weight of 1140 kg is required for front-wheel drive vehicles and at least 1170 kg for rear-wheel drive vehicles. Four-wheel drive vehicles are not permitted.
The regulations were developed for the 2002 European Touring Car Championship season. It was developed as a successor to the super touring car . It was derived from the BTCC regulations introduced in 2001 . BMW initially rejected the Super 2000 regulations because, in contrast to the Super Production regulations, which for the most part prescribe the use of series parts, the Super 2000 regulations allow more constructive freedom. The development and vehicle costs were too high for BMW. It was therefore planned in the ETCC to first fill the field of Super 2000 vehicles with Super Production Cars (SPC) . But then made the FIA BMW a few concessions, among others, a conventional H gear prescribed in contrast to the sequential gearbox. However, these transmissions were allowed again for 2003. For Volvo and Prodrive , who at this point were already very far with the development of the new Volvo S60 , this sometimes meant starting all over again. For example, they only had to develop an H gearbox especially for the 2002 season.
Rally vehicles
In contrast to the touring cars, the Super 2000 regulations prescribe uniform all-wheel drive for rally vehicles without active differentials . In the Super 2000 rally vehicles, until the end of the 2010 season, only 2.0-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engines were allowed, which make up class A2 in the World Rally Championship . Since 2011, the Super 2000 regulations have also covered 1600 cc turbo petrol engines, which the FIA classifies as A1.
World Rally Car
Since 2011, the World Rally Cars have also been based on the Super 2000 regulations with 1600 cm³ engines, but with an additional aerodynamics package. These form class A0 in the World Rally Championship . The inner workings of the S2000 and WRCs are largely identical. The biggest difference is the aerodynamics package, which includes a different front bumper and a larger rear wing, which also make the World Rally Car visually recognizable. For the WRC, an S2000 vehicle must first be homologated, which is then upgraded with a WRC kit. Compared to the Super 2000 vehicles of class A1, the WRC (A0) have lighter side windows and the engine only differs in that the flywheel is 500 grams lighter and therefore has a differently programmed engine management . There is no difference in the restrictors compared to the Super 2000 (A1) engines.

BMW 320si
In 2005, BMW used the six-cylinder 320i, which was very successful with several titles, based on the BMW E46 . From the 2006 season a new model was launched, which was presented to the public at the International Motor Show (IAA) on September 12, 2005 in Frankfurt am Main. The new racing version was based on a four-cylinder special version of the BMW E90 called the BMW 320si, of which only the minimum number of 2500 units required by the regulations were produced. In 2009 a revised version of the BMW 320si appeared.
