What are BMW & Toyota up to?

BMW and Toyota are currently working together, but better yet, they’re working on producing a midsize sports car. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, please check out our previous article about this amazing project.

Most of us think that Toyota is pretty good at making cars for the average Joe, the nine to fiver, essentially taking people from point A to point B. However, Toyota is really good at making sports cars. Remember the early Toyota 2000GT in the 1960s? (shown below):

To the Supra in 1980s and 1990s:

and the most recent: Toyota’s first supercar – the Lexus LFA.

For BMW, we all know it’s famous for its sports oriented cars (please don’t be confused about the term of “sports car” and “sports oriented car” – I will talk about this in another article). But to someone’s surprise, historically speaking, BMW only has one super car: the BMW M1 in the 1980s:

The latest BMW i8 may be counted as another BMW supercar, but its specification and performance doesn’t quite live up to it.

Due to their technical strength, it’ll benefit both Toyota AND BMW if they cooperate to develop a few powerful sports cars. Yesterday according to an article published by Bloomberg, it is reported that the joint project has passed the technical feasibility step and now reaches the concept phase. In the following years, we shall be able to see some concept cars developed by these two automobile industry giants. Exciting times!
