Hehe, always nice with a fresh topic!

Now we have two midengined concepts within about a year... on the other hand, the message regarding this type of vehicle is rather clear - not going to happen.

Well, I think if you made the VED "production ready" you would pretty much have that rendering.

I don't think that bmw need a supercar as a halo car. I don't think they need a halo car at all, since all of their cars expect for the e90 are very distinctive.

BMW need what we would buy. So the question is what would be more exciting for each and every one of you an R8 rival that even if you can afford it is a car that is overpriced (my definition of overpriced is anything more expensive than a 911) or an 8 cylinder M F20 for half the price of the supercar?

Easily the 1-series CSL/M-car... but my point is that now that BMW has shown two midengined concepts in a year, expectations for something real have rised.

The car that will proceed will be a Front engined Coupe and Roadster based on an extended 3er modular platform. BMW need the car to be 50/50 in weight distribution. It will not be an extreme performance car but will be powerful and sustainable at the same time.

It's a GT 2 seater car and will take it's ideas from the BMW H2H Racer , It wont be big and heavy, it's all about doing a flagship sports car from a different perspective from which others do.

Vision Efficient Dynamics is an interpretation to another BMW.

I think those who were/are wishing for mid-engined car are in a fantasy world.

Then I will have some news for you next week.
Coupe and Roadster.

Scott, Is this what you're talking about??? Or is BMW going to make TWO supercars (One ala H2H and one taking the VED approach) ???
