They could make the i8 a proper v8 hybrid supercar but they didn't
>>29131119They got caught up in trying to beat the camaro for the past decade.
>hybrid>supercar
>>29131119Why are you asking, as if you didn’t know the history of M1?From a market and business perspective, BMW M1 (produced between 1978 and 1981) was a massive financial failure that nearly brought the then-nascent BMW Motorsport division to ruin. After production ended, the division’s budget was slashed by 75 percent, and plans for future mid-engined supercars were shelved indefinitely.
>>29131126Yes?
>>29131119I'm not rich enough to buy one nor retarded enough to go into debt for one, so I don't give a shit
>>29131119i8 project was started when Hollywood stars were pretending to be green and driving their Priuses to the airport where they get their ass in their private plane and fly to Seattle for their morning coffee. They wanted to give those assholes something actually presentable to drive, but by the time it came out Tesla already usurped that market because they can pretend to be green while also being stupidly fucking fast and not just faster than a Prius.
>>29131175Hybrid is even more fake and gay than EV.
>>29131219>not just faster than a Prius.seems to hang with a base model vette but it is undeniably gayhttps://youtu.be/Tfws74AEIx4?si=VAttOLFP96zuFYzL
>>29131119it should have been the same s55 they were already going to introduce on the f80. would have softened the turbo blow and the 2 fewer cylinders blow, on top of being a better power choice than the i3 hybrid setup
>>29131263is zr1x not a supercar?
>>29131305no, doesn't have special doors
>>29131305No, hybrids can by definition not be supercars, same way an EV can't be one.
>>29131332Delusional.
>>29131119no one wants a hybrid super car
>>29131455people love the 918?
>>29131119Becuase they use CLAR for every single car in the lineup and it is fundamentally a commuter platform. A proper supercar was in the works if you look up M vision next but the board decided it was cheaper and more Profitable to make a XM super SUV
>>29131126
The i8 was the their generational shot that they missed hard.If they just make it price just above the Zupra and put a normal engine in there, they would have got a halo car.>but but my M(insert numbers) no one except people who got a degree in Brown Man's Wagon can tell them apart.
