Wow, only a second faster than my staid Volvo XC40 Recharge  electric SUV.  ;D ;D ;D  Thought they would have been able to get it down to three seconds.  :P :P


Not a bad looker.

I like it. But I can't afford it.

Somewhat shrunken AMG GT Roadster.

I like it!  However, w/the top down, all those digital screens that control EVERYTHING will be washed out from the sun.

Yes Pawel, those big 8 convertible series BMW produces these days.
But I have to admit I stopped looking at new cars a long time ago, so what do I know. Give me a $2,500 car from 1985 and I'm happy.

WOW, all that hipster hype.  Too bad that they thought they needed to copy the Apple presentation format with team members in mock turtlenecks who are obviously not used to being on camera, having their 5 seconds of fame.  I have been around MBs since birth, am a huge fan, and I am sure that the car will offer a great driving experience on the right roads, but it's not for me.  I am seriously looking at Morgan and Lotus cars for a bit of good old-fashioned hooligan fun.

I wish I could see more of the car and less of the hype. It looks cool at $ 200,000.
Good post, Pawel.
I will wait for the straight six / 5 spd variant.

I checked the price out of curiosity. On the German market, the price starts at 118,000 Euro. Of course, with a few extras, the price will increase significantly.
Thank you Pawel for the post.
