It's a sign of the times. After having rolled out the delectable http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/27/modern-retro-bmw-m1-homage-officially-revealed/ - M1 Hommage concept
(pictured above), one BMW board member says that the Bavarian automaker
has no intention of producing a supercar to compete with the likes of
the Audi R8. Instead, BMW will focus on green technologies.
The news comes straight from Klaus Draeger, the board member at the
helm of the EfficientDymanics initiative. While Audi continues to
produce http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/25/r8-v10-spied-again-at-audis-quattro-gmbh/ - more powerful and http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/12/first-spy-shots-of-audi-r8-targa-surface/ - more desirable
versions of the R8, Mercedes prepares entirely new supercars and
Porsche continues to do what Porsche has always done, the company that
once hailed itself as the producers of the "Ultimate Driving Machine"
is more concerned with hybrids than sportscars.
