Aston Martin announced their new halo car, the 003. Full carbon fibre, hybrid 4WD and at least 1000bhp.
This is what BMWi should have aimed for, with a pricey halo version of the i8. How much more desirable would the "normal" i8 have been then...
Aston Martin have just leapfrogged McLaren IMO....whilst Ferrari release a stopgap "new" model (F8 Tributo) that is heaver and slower than their competitors' old models (720S).
I can't really see BMW competing in this space, having squandered their initial technological lead in Carbon fibre and hybrid tech with the i8.

Leapfrogged McLaren?
with what?
Their concept cars that are still not in production? Or the so called Hypercars they've released already that can't hang with a 720S, much less a P1/Senna/Speedtail.
Aston should stick to making GT cars with Ford engines for grandfathers and leave the supercars to McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
