Imagine the upcoming 600+hp 4.0L twin turbo V8 coupled with a 200hp electric motor and xDrive -- that would make for a pretty damn compelling drivetrain in a future M.

Yes but there is something to be said about rear wheel drive powerful cars. Take the 991 for example in a s format vs 4s, I've driven both and they are wonderful cars truly balanced in every way- but the 4s just felt too clinical and near effortless to take it around the course where the rwd s felt more raw and in need of a control and better connection with the driver. it's this feeling people are complaining about....
