BMW M1 Rumored to Be Greenlit for Production
Missing a flagship at the moment, BMW is being left out of the supercar segment Mercedes and Audi both have hands in, but that might change soon according to reports from Britain.
An official announcement hasn’t been released by BMW yet, but with the auto show season on its summer hiatus you shouldn’t expect to hear anything for a few months at the very least.
Should the rumblings prove to be true, expect a concept to appear sometime in 2014 with features like dynamic flaps that adjust to increase aerodynamics at higher speeds and extensive carbon fiber borrowed from the i8 to cut weight well below the Audi R8. It’s also likely to be inspired by the M1 hommage car seen above, albeit with less retro styling.
