And/or post pictures of random other cars that look absolutely nothing like the prototype.

Cool shape, a bit high for a sports coupe

Would be interesting to know what BMW did to suspension to deal with all this massive weight at each wheel and also gyroscopic effect on the steering wheel. It's possible these electric motors don't weigh more than regular steel breaks.

World’s first 10,000lb coupe?

Cuz no one came here to look at cars, only snark.

That goes 0-60 in 1.8s

I never mentioned anything about looks. However, since you brought it I’m going to take a deep breath (through my mouth) and say I don’t care, I’m not buying it.

As far as having access to BMW prototype info…I don’t need it. It’s heavy because it’s an EV. The steering will be numb because it’s an EV, Maybe even worse because of motor location per the article. I can imagine a great need for electronic steering assistance based on that alone.

Reminds me of a Pontiac for some reason

My mistake, a Plymouth Laser

Looks like someone rear ended a Countach and they just never bothered fixing the back.

Looks super exciting. Definitely a two-seater. Can’t wait to see the final product!

3000 GT/ stealth reincarnation..

Looks like a recycled Ford Probe from the early 90s

[Faust]

Not bad at all imo.

WTH you lookin at?

Things looks awesome. Isn’t this what every enthusiast is asking for? A two door coupe with next gen technology?

And talk about a massive jump in unsprung weight! It will be interesting to see how engineers deal with it.

Believe it’s all motor braking.

It does look like the N-Vision 74.

That said, how are you complaining about BMW making something that looks like that?

You really figured that all out with the camo on?

Thank you!
Need to read up on the engineering of how they will simulate braking assuming there is still a brake pedal!
And yes, I know you can do single pedal driving, but surely there will also be a traditional way.

Exactly!
Ioniq 5 styling is amazing, so I'd be OK for BMW to look like that.
