What a cluster*.
No DCT.
AWD with a slushbox.
And basically admitting they can’t put the power down because the entire concept doesn’t work anymore in a market where they compete on ridiculous horsepower specs. They are no longer able to compete on the brand level.
Here’s one car that has traction on rear wheels. Porshe Carrera. With a proper DCT transmission. And it’s not competing on HP numbers.
Nobody wants more horsepower anymore. Drop it to 400, make a lighter chassis, build a less laggy engine that delivers power linearly instead of abruptly, and you can have a real RWD sports car.
BMW M has lost it. I’ve had multiple but this looks like they’ve put themselves in a trap. Electric is squeezing them from one side and real traditional sports cars from the other.
