[Peter...]

Damn its fucking ugly!

[CussCuss]

orange one is real, white one is a chop.

[GTREA]

well.... it's futuristic....

Yeah it is that alright.

Problem being it looks like a 1970's view of what the future might look like.....

I don't mind either of them, but sadly I read a recent interview with BMW AG CEO who said that a "supercar" / M1 was not currently on the agenda for the forseeable future.

One telling quote from that interview went something along the lines of: "at the moment, while the R8 is doing such a good job, it's not economical for us to attempt to challenge this segment" (i'm paraphrasing)

The interview was on Autoblog.com last week.

dang ugly

Whilst growing up during the 80s, the orange M1 looks exactly the sort of car I'd have wanted/expected in the future. If only it had a talking dashboard as well.

Fake one at the top looks nice, orange one looks pox

agreed. orange is poxy and ugly, white one actually looks good.

The orange one does sort of look like a modernised version of the original though.

was reading the BMW mag - there's an article of the old cars and what they are fetching these days

e.g: 3.0 CSL ~ 500,000 euros

and the M1 150,000 euros - and 635kw !!!! WWWWTTTTFFFFF????

isn't the supercar market full up on assholes as it is?

i mean how many $300,000 - $1.5 mil. supercars can this global market absorb?

[oldcorollas]
