BMW Z2 roadster could debut in 2014 - report You are good at maths!

BMW says new 3-cylinder engine might not make it to next 3-Series [video] Correction: the i3 is not FWD. It will have a MR layout according to Autoblog.

Porsche 918 Spyder further details leaked - WCF Exclusive I have seen both R8s on the road, seen a couple of Gallardo variants, and seen the 458 italia as well as every 355 360 model in traffic, but i have never seen a Carrera GT in the wild. Porsche will never challenge mass-production supercar marques with their "hypercar" mentality, and the pricing of this model ensures that very few of them will see any road use. My initial interest in this car was in anticipation of a revival of the design philosophy of the 912 and 914 models, and i am somewhat disappointed by its halo-ness. Superlative performance is fine as an engineering exercise, but not realistic as a mass-market product, and the "green motoring" game will not change until the average consumer can embrace it.

The 3-cylinder diesel i8 from BMW seems a bit more realistic as a model for the new direction of the industry.

2012 BMW M5 to offer all-wheel drive - report GASP forced induction... all wheel drive.. it's just as the prophecy foretold. Call interpol, M-division has been infiltrated by Audi! I'm bracing for the clean diesel X5M to round out the sacrilege.

BMW i8 spied in the Arctic Circle EV range suffers greatly in low temperature conditions, so cold weather testing is going to be very important for these cars.
