According to a new report from Autobild, BMW is planning a revival of the M1 which may hit the market in 2016.

The German magazine says the M1 successor will feature a body that is made from aluminum, magnesium, titanium and various plastics. The weight target is 1,250 kg (2,756 lbs).

Motivation will be provided by a turbocharged V8 engine with 592 hp to 641 hp. This allows the supercar to hit a top speed of 330 km/h, aiming to exceed rivals like the Audi R8, Porsche 911 Turbo and Mercedes SLS AMG. Despite the impressive performance, but the car would be relatively economical thanks to a start-stop system and braking energy recovery.

The BMW M1 successor will reportedly have a starting price of €250,000.
