New BMW M1 Concept 2010

New BMW M1 Concept 2010


Recently there's a lot of BMW's mid-engined concept car, lets hope they're serious building one. Their Frankfurt concept car was brilliant but needed to tone down a little bit. That might scare the Audi R8 or the Porsche 911. It's about time BMW should launch a supercar Mercedes has the SLS, Audi the R8, Lexus the LFA, etc. I think people would buy a supercar made by BMW, especially with the looks of this concept and the sport heritage of this brand. BMW first put the M1 on the market in 1978. BMW's only mid-engine car produced on a large scale was actually built by Lamborghini. It used six-cylinder twin-cam engine that produced 273 horsepower, but turbocharged racing versions generated 850 hp. The production car was capable of a 160mph top speed. The car is expected to a mid-engine design and could potentially be powered by a reworked version of the company’s 3.0 liter engine, instead of the big V8s and V10s of today's BMW M cars. Being a green car means that it would be equipped with fuel saving technologies such as direct injection, brake regeneration and a stop / start system. According to one source the new supercar would have the fuel economy and CO2 emissions of a mid-range 5 series
The M1 coming to Dubai is also a mid-engined car with rear window louvers, but it has a body that is larger in all directions. However, do not take this as an indication that the car will come to market. BMW is still playing coy, and says the car is only to celebrate the company's heritage.
While i think this car would be an incredible car andNew BMW M1 Concept 2010 a car that would put a great company like BMW an even bigger icon on the "map" i don't think MadeInGermany is right that it would completely make all other cars "rubbish" or crap as we say here. It would be a hell of a car but not some kind of wonder car built by God himself.
In any event, BMW should make this, they could use this type of very high end Halo/supercar. It looks great and it looks like a BMW most importantly.
