BMW IS EXPLORING a plan to build what a senior company official calls "a breakthrough green supercar" by the end of 2012. The new car has been described to Autocaras "a puristic two-seater that draws on all the very latest BMW technology and lightweight build processes". The supercar would provide BMW with a rival for the Audi R8 and forthcoming Mercedes SLC (see opposite page).
