So back in February of this year, 001 posted a story of the supposedly new supercar coming from BMW. This was big news since the last supercar out of the BMW brand was the famed late 70’s M1 (yes, opinions aside).
With a not known yet rear or mid mounted 5.0-liter V10 that would tweak out somewhere in the neighborhood of 550hp, have RWD of course, and have extensive use of carbon fiber and aluminum…it could provide a wedge in the onslaught of mid sized super cars.
It will be [possibly] called the BMW Z10.
But with the massive assault from Audi with the R8, Lexus’ up and coming supercar, and other auto manufacturers tweaking their lineup, could the BMW Z10 be a car that makes the rest of the automotive world a little uneasy?
Follow the link to a Fifth Gear episode that was done this May about the Van Horssen Group and watch and listen closely to the 6:43 and 6:45 minute marks. Have the rumors come true? (And yes, the rest of the video is amazing as well).
