The McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari and
Porsche 918 Spyder all showed that hypercars will be sticking around for quite
some time even as emission standards become increasingly strict. Now, there’s a new-age of hypercars in the works
from Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG both powered by extraordinary powertrains
and promises breakthrough performance capabilities.
In a time where hybrids are becoming more common,
these two automakers are launching halo hypercars to help sell the technology
to consumers and promise to spark a revolution of sports cars, supercars and
hypercars. Who else will join the party?
Audi’s boss recently expressed interest in launching
a range-topping hypercar but nothing has been confirmed. As for BMW, it hasn’t
made any suggestion that it’s working on a hypercar but that hasn’t stopped
Peisert Design from imagining how such a model could look.
By using the Aston Martin Valkyrie as the starting
point, a number of obvious BMW design elements have been installed. They of
course include the firm’s customary kidney front grille, headlights inspired by
the i8, a set of BMW M wheels and rear-end touches inspired by the i8. The
overall shape of the car remains largely identical to the Valkyrie albeit for
the inclusion of a large carbon fiber shark fin.
