This is not yet fully confirmed, but I've read in a German newspaper, that Mercedes wants to launch a mid-engined V8 supercar somwhere around 2009-2010. the V8 they'll use might be something close, to the one used in the 63AMG cars (i.e the E 63AMG ). The car is supposed to challenge the Porsche 911 and the Audi R8. chassis design is suppposed to be done with the help of McLaren. Should be interesting to see, what this is going to turn out.
Also the same newspaper stated, that BMW is launching a new model called M10. This should arrive in 2010, and will have an about 550HP V10 engine in the front, powering the rear wheels (same engine as in the M5, and M6, only slightly tuned to produce more power). Still, I don't think that would to convince me to buy it, if it looks like the BMWs, that are already in production. Sadly, the last good looking BMW was the M1, but that was a long time ago (well, the 850 wasn't ugly too, but I personally consider it rather dull).

Well, sorry you feel that way. I have an M6 and it's a fantastic looking and performing car!! The car looks great in person:) BMW's offer a much more dynamic, reliable experience than Mercedes ever could. BMW is doing very well with their global sales as evidence to this fact. If you don't care for BMW it's your loss, more for those of us who can appreciate them. By the way, the M6 is already a supercar. Own one and find out;)
Well I won't argue with you about performance, the M6 is good at it (at least on paper, sadly I haven't had the chance to drive one) but in terms of looks it doesn't exactly convince me, but, as someone said: "de gustibus non disputandum est", so if you like it, thats your problem ;). But I'd still rather have a Porsche 911 Turbo.
But anyway, thanks for reading and commenting!
