  | Rumour Control Episode 1,000,000. This popped into my inbox this evening , just as I was leaving to go to the shoot. Rumour Control , here are the facts... [quote] Lets get to the updates, here and Now!!!!!  Quote:
One is a probable 4dr Coupe , other is a Roadster , both will sit above the Ghost and be based on the Ghost , the Roadster could be shared with the next 6er Coupe and Cabrio. 201 EX a Drophead for the Ghost will be seen next year at Paris. Quote:

A V16 in this day and era is insane and does not fit within the plans for Rolls-Royce and BMW especially in light of future emissions. Currently BMW have integrated a team to work on sustainable developments for Rolls-Royce. A hybrid Ghost using the drivetrain from the Active hybrid 7 is undergoing testing within BMW's private testing grounds. Quote:
What Rolls-Royce are working on as well as MINI is a sustainable concept that showcases the future of the brand , BMW has already shown it's vision of the Future - The Vision Efficient Dynamics. MINI and Rolls-Royce will get their opportunity too. | ||||

| Aren't those quotes from the notorious MCLAREN P_10 from CSS?  According to this person almost every imaginable carmaker is planning hypercars with 700-1200 hp output.  Last time I checked this person was wrong about the engine for the McLaren MP4-12C on the day(!!!) of the actual press release. Unsurprisingly MCLAREN P_10 edited the post after the press release. |

No no no BMW Power. It doesn't work like that. Only when we are worthy do we get to find out things we want to know. In the meantime you must be grateful for any small bits of info we receive.

| The only thing we get is a sort of competition package for the e92 M3 is my guess. They did that also for the e46 M3. They rather make a competition package then put a new car in the line up like a CSL. It wil only put the total of co2 in the lineup up and the this car is no hot seller. So don t count on an extra model in M3 lineup. |
