“Longitudinal performance is something that has never been the single purpose of M, and even less so with electrified cars. With battery electric vehicles initial acceleration and longitudinal performance is something pretty much everyone can do.
“And this is not what we are working on, we are working on ultimate driving dynamics.
----------------------------------------------------------
Very curious to see how M will differentiate in the future.
Flasch wants us to believe that electric is only good for acceleration and that vehicle dynamics is a real challenge, but we all know that all electric cars have their center of gravity very near the axle height, and the weight distribution 50/50 is also straightforward now. On top, faster and better torque vectoring has become a commodity with BEV. What's left is wheel guidance geometry, suspension setup and steering control and feedback. The Taycan already demonstrates this.
With such a future, M could dissolve into a pure equipment line above the Sportsline. Their purpose will shirnk down and they could cease to exist.
