BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
We were all wondering how
BMW was going to manage to bring its
Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept to the road, and now it looks like we may have our answer. According to
Autocar, elements of the wild diesel-electric sports car will crop up in the next-generation
M6. The report claims that the company will send the efficient drivetrain packing in favor of a more robust twin-turbo V8 powerplant sourced from the current
M3.
Why would
BMW be interested in crafting the
M6 into a mid-engine, V8 terror? It might just have something to do with the rabid success of the
Audi R8, but
Autocar thinks a similar model would allow
BMW to do battle with
Porsche 911 and the oft-rumored baby
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. It all sounds good floating around the interweb, but color us skeptical.
