What does a 918 competitor accomplish?
Why not plow the money this would cost into figuring out how to make a parallel (to UKL) small-sedan RWD platform viable?
In the long run, that'll carry the brand much further than a low-volume hybrid meant to compete in a class that doesn't present much of an ROI for BMW (or its customers).

because there is a market for it meaning it will sell well and make them $$$$$$$$$$$$$. The audi r8 sold well, the mercedes sls sold well too. and M have been dying to make a halo BMW M supercar they do need one. I doubt it will be a 918 competitor. thats a hybrid hypercar. it will probably compete with just 458 T, new R8, new AMG GT and the new Huracan.
