Yeah they do but I seriously doubt that is happening by 2016. The business case for the £100-200k cars is likely to be a lot stronger than the £650-950k car.

I wouldn't be surprised (remember we've had 3 cylinder, FWD, Xdrive, Turbo M) if BMW does have a 918 /P1 hybrid competitor at some point, but not this decade - if they can eventually span the entire car market spectrum and produce amongst the best cars in each category this is likely to put them at top of the global automotive tree.

I hope this time we'll see a McLaren 650s & 911 Turbo S competitor that drives better than a GT3. That would be the thing to have. However I'm also thinking 2016 is less than 2 years away and no spy shots of any Supercar have been taken...

Let's hope it's not the X9 that is the 100th anniversary surprise. Although that would explain the need for a giant new showroom
