There has always been a strategy for an eco-Sports car.
The problem was everybody was blinded to the fact that it would be an R8 Rival with great PS output and up to 10 cylinders. When the actual direction will be much different. BMW do not follow the competition it is very surprising how people seem to forget this.

VED cannot be sold as it is because of crash regulations etc.
As of now Project-i is the priority and the development of the mega city vehicle to launch in 2015.

The Eco SuperSports Car will be introduced after the Mega City Vehicle.
which means sometime after 2015. The technology may be "ready" but BMW intend to public test more developments seen on the VED with other cars.
Testing allows for additional progress before committing to prodcution.
