The maturity of putting a Nissan GT-R face on a Bugatti is pretty low. Likewise, a BMW M8 overlapped with an Audi R8 is pointless and lame. We know some of you are going to point that out.
It's fine. Everybody needs a hobby, and if yours is to make jokes about renderings, we're glad to inspire you. Likewise, we're glad to point out that these two renderings by superrenderscars aren't completely crazy.
BMW did make a mid-engined supercar. It's called the M1. This German proto-supercar is now mentioned casually in every conversation about BMW's future.
According to the latest reports from the credible source Autocar, BMW is looking into a supercar. It's supposed to be the spiritual successor to both the i8 and the M1 and will do battle against Ferrari or McLaren.
Don't get your hopes too high, though, because it's just based on a loose statement from Klaus Frohlich, the BMW board member who's in charge of product development, who said that "If you are an engineer, once in your life, you want to make a super-sports car. I think partial electrification will enable that."
A mid-engined BMW probably won't look like an Audi with a face swap. Also, it won't get any V10 engines, even though BMW one built one of the best of all times. The focus is now on electricity, and it's pretty clear their latest motors are suited for the supercar theme.
As for the GT-R, it's the one car that made Japan cool for years while the Supra was slacking off. So, of course, it deserves to go mid-engined just like the Corvette.
It probably almost happened, according to the patent filings. But Nissan is in deep financial trouble right now, so the R36 is put on hold. On the plus side, they're at least developing the "400Z" sports car.
