AMAZING- I can't believe they are actually moving forward with this. If you guys recall, the "official" M3 0-60 time according to BMW (posted on the BMWUSA website) is 4.8s. If BMW is expecting that the VED will reach 0-6 in 4.8s in the hybrid configuration as well, then in reality it should be about as fast as the M3 and still do 75 miles per gallon- if this is the case then it would be an astounding achievement! Also, I recall that Scott posted that eventually there will be an M variant of the VED, and that the engine would be based on the new M3 engine (albeit the car will be alot lighter and faster than the new M3 I suppose). Exciting news all around!
