I remember reading an issue of Sport Auto where they were testing at Hockenhaim I think the Viper, the Gallardo and the M6. O-100 the M6 does it in 4.2 and the Gallardo in 4.4 and the lap times are 1,11.8 for the Gallardo and 1,14.4 for the M6.. And with the arrival of the M6 CSL these gaps are going to become even more smaller..The differences arent big enough, so why would BMW produce a totally new supercar to rival with these cars?(again..).. Dont see the point... 1 or 2 sec arent worth of making a totally new supercar..

If u look it in absolute numbers then yeah its a gap, but what Im trying to say is that why would BMW spent a huge amount of money and im saying huge cause her supercar is going to be a brand new model which wont be based on any other car, simply just to compete with these rivals for the 2nd time and not build a pure supercar especially when almost all her direct rival companies have a supercar at their fleet(Murcielago, Enzo, CGT, Zonda even that worthless piece of shit the SLR)..

why does mercedes make the slr? because it can. why is audi building its r9? because it can. anyways, there'll probably be a concept befre you see any test cars rolling around, and probably by next year, too.
