I really hope BMW pulls through and makes it. It would be awesome if it had a 3.0 L twin turbo or even a triple turbo motor that can rev to 8500-9000 RPM but still make peak torque around 2500 RPM and get 25-30 MPG with 450-500 HP. If they aimed at a target weight under 3000 pounds this thing would be a rocket. They would have to use a carbon fiber chassis with many carbon fiber body panels or aluminum to cut the cost.
