Duracell-powered hyper race car for the road? Please don't BMW. Everybody is building one. McLaren just came out with W1.

With the way things Hansen going we’d be lucky for that. Going down to 2 cylinders is more likely 😪

Considering how much of a failure it was I really hope not 😂

But unfortunately we can’t expect the proper number of cynders that’s for sure.

If its another ‘EV supercar’ like everyone else is making who really cares.🥱😴

About time!

Anyone would be foolish to think that whatever this car is, would be full combustion. We know this will be EV focused whether it’s a full EV or uses a hybrid system.

I wouldn’t even be mad if they brought back the i8. The i8 failed because there was no reason to have a 4 cylinder with a battery “supercar” at the time but type of setup powertrain would work in todays market assuming BMW up’d the HP and TQ.

I8 was one the most fun of cars that bmw has ever made, it was fast (relatively), fantastic design and probably one the best handling cars that you can find.
I used to daily that car for more than 4 years, and it was interestingly practical.
I hope bmw make upgrades version of i8.I’ll be inline!

Given a lot of recent designs from bmw, they may be better left with those covers on!

This isn’t it but it is not bad.

Looking forward to it. It will be powerful, smooth and quiet. Too many car makers are focused on building a cheap BEV for the masses. There wasn’t any that interested me until the i5 M60. It would be hard for me to find something I love more, but I will definitely take a look.

We need an I8 with a B58 hybrid drivetrain 600hp

So I meant from a production stand point, not like design/functionality.

It was really cool and futuristic, very forward thinking don’t get me wrong.

Sorry to rain on everyone's parade, but there is no supercar approved for 2030. There was one temporarily approved as an EV before 2030, but got pushed back. No clear case yet, some want ICE, others EV.

[BlkGS]

My guess is they'll lean heavy on the M brand to try to sell it. It will likely be a pure BEV, coating a crapload of money and selling very few units, only to ultra wealthy collectors who will park it next to their ICE Ferraris and Lambos as a conversation piece.

In short, who cares? It isn't what people actually want more than likely, which is a high revving ICE , high powered M1 successor that isn't hybrid or anything stupid like that to improve lightness.

Ugh I bet they name it the iM or iM1 and really kick us in the gut.

[Game]

After the XM, I can't be too excited.

It’s a dumpster on wheels. IOMG paint with orange inside
