BMW is getting ready to debut the most important new chassis since the original\u00a0Neue Klasse<\/a> chassis of the 1960s<\/a> and it\u2019s going to be called\u2026 Neue Klasse. Reviving the name makes sense because this will truly be a new class of BMWs\u2014electric cars built on an electric car platform. While BMW will launch sensible models first, such as 3 Series\u2019 and 5 Series\u2019<\/a>, after a few years of selling Neue Klasse models, there\u2019s going to be room for more exciting, high-performance cars. Perhaps the return of a BMW supercar?<\/p>\n

BMW hasn\u2019t developed a true supercar since the original BMW M1<\/a> back in the late \u201970s. One could argue that the BMW i8 was a supercar but its mid-engine layout was really the only thing it had in common with other supercars. Its three-cylinder hybrid powertrain wasn\u2019t exactly \u201csuper.\u201d But even if you consider the i8 a supercar, BMW will still need another one and the Neue Klasse chassis is the perfect platform on which to build one.<\/p>\n
