If they have already built the base of the car, why not use it? So what if all cars will be electric in 15 years, until then, we have a segment of about 20-30,000 cars in the Gallardo/F430 class.

Can such a car, really, be more expensive to develop, when you have both the chassis and the engines, than the Rollses (absolutely none sold this year*)?





*)You know what I mean.

Pretty sure the CS Concept had an agenda too... until it was canned.

Remember when Audi introduced their first mid-engined super car concept? In 1991 with Avus Quattro Concept.

When R8 was introduced? In 2006. 15 years later.

So, BMW still have plenty of time available ...

Do you seriously think that, even if BMW did build it as a production model, it would look anything like the VED concept? The nose maybe. I think this rendering is more likely than the VED.

Looking at BMW history, I'd say that some time around 2014-2015 would be most likely. Why?

1972:



1978:

Why not?. If you complete the chasis of the VED Concept the overall shape could be the same for the production model. I´m talking about the shape, of course some things must be changed.

For a company that screams out Ultimate Driving Machine every five minutes, the time is now. This dependency on an entry-level coupe (M3) to hold that title up is absolutely ridiculous. Nothing screams "Driving Machine" like a actual super sports car.
