Very interesting, this could actually redefine the word "supercar". IF performance exceeds expectations.

I'm still crossing my fingers on this one! BMW has a bad habit of green lighting projects and then killing them swiftly!

that wouldn't such a problem if they'd have ditched the 5er GT and go ahead with the M1

It would be great to see something like this hit the streets, especially after the GT and X1... give us a real sports car BMW !!

Looking at the way BMW is going, the M1 will have a quad turbo 2 cylinder.

At this point I don't really care what engine they will put into the car. As long as its scary fast, that is.

I sure do hope that BMW will build it. But I doubt they will as low volume supercars do not make money.
