I've a mitsubishi fto, is it possible to replace its engine with a bmw m3 or a better performance engine?



Anything is possible, but its a lot of serious mechanical and electrical fabrication work.

In addition to all the ordinary headaches, of "Frankenstein" auto-mods, I believe the FTO is FWD, while the M3 is RWD.

2011 Audi A8L / A8L W12

The W-12 is hooked to Audi’s new ZF-sourced eight-speed Tiptronic transmission, as is the A8’s 4.2-liter V-8, and the gearbox routes power to the standard Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi performance estimates have the A8L W12 hitting 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. No EPA numbers are available yet, but Audi expects a 12-percent increase in efficiency, which would put fuel economy somewhere around 14 mpg city/21 highway. The 372-hp 4.2 will continue to be the standard engine in the A8L. The W-12 model gets visual differentiation in the form of a unique gloss-black grille with thick horizontal chrome bars, chrome air-intake inserts, and chrome bits on the side mirrors, as well as W-12 sill plates and badges. Exhaust gases exit through a pair of fat trapezoidal outlets carved into the rear bumper. W-12 models wear standard 19-inch wheels with 20s optional and 21s available as accessories. Near-record-size ventilated front brake discs measuring 15.75 inches are included on the W-12—they’re larger than those found on the Corvette ZR1 and Bugatti Veyron. A8s earn their L badge by growing just over five inches between the wheels. That extra space is seen in the rear of the beautifully crafted interior, where the car can be equipped with two individual seats that are heated, ventilated, and highly adjustable. A full-length console, standard on the A8L W-12, can be spec’d with a folding table or a refrigerator. Long-wheelbase cars get a reclining seat behind the front passenger that offers a power-adjustable footrest—it looks like a jumpseat in the photos—which deploys from the back of the seat ahead. Rear-seat passengers even get loose cushions to help them get comfortable. Judging from our short stint in the back of a normal-wheelbase A8, the L’s interior will be one of Audi’s best, and room will be ample. Options available on all A8s include full-LED headlights and a panoramic glass roof. Other features...
