I don't mind the hybridization of ///M Cars in the future, even if they add only a couple of batteries. What I do mind is them killing the visceralness of the internal combustion engines that they do put into future ///M cars. Turbo engines DO NOT have to sound bad, but they usually do. The Alfa Guilia is a perfect example of a Turbo Engine sounding amazing. You want to make the next M5 with a hybrid assist drivetrain? That's fine. Just be sure to include an internal combustion engine with it that can rev to at least 8,000rpm. It is still totally possible to design a turbocharged engine that has even lower CO2 output and lower fuel consumption than today's ///M engines and still be able to include a high redline with those engines. I just know that ///M won't do this though, and this is what kills future ///M cars for me.
