Just in time for the next Mission Impossible movie?

BMW and McLaren, a match made in heaven. The quad turbos are interesting. I wonder though, is a turbo still a turbo if it isn't exhaust driven?

SunnyD · 09-17-2015, 01:40 PM

Judging by those renders, it looks like the next BMW NSX...

fecurtis · 09-17-2015, 01:48 PM

No this can't be true.

BMW lost their way remember?

pretty cool and exciting

FilipMPower · 09-17-2015, 02:24 PM

I hope so much that this is a thing. But please don't let it be a McLaren with a BMW bodykit. While McLaren know how to really make great suspension, I think that M should do the power train and steering and of course the double clutch transmission.

RPiM5 · 09-17-2015, 02:29 PM

Finally! A BMW Supercar since the ///M1. I just hope that McLaren won't back out like Lamborghini did. Woohoo!

blefevre · 09-17-2015, 02:29 PM

Will this be out before the M2?

Doctor///M · 09-17-2015, 02:33 PM

Bring it!!

aajami · 09-17-2015, 02:35 PM

Does that mean that the P16 would also be powered by the same BMW engine, or is McLaren simply providing the P16 chassis for this BMW-branded supercar?

Dackelone · 09-17-2015, 02:37 PM

I LOVE IT!!!

135TX · 09-17-2015, 02:37 PM

I have always wondered why they didn't remake the iconic M1 and make an amazing supercar as its tribute....

hwelvaar · 09-17-2015, 02:46 PM

I always wonder who are those "sources" that provided this info...

Ill eat my hat if this ever happens

deemo319 · 09-17-2015, 03:00 PM

Since M GmbH didn't build a compelling case with either cars, the unnamed BMW should be splendid.

This is going to be delicious!
