After BMW announced the i8, German magazine Autobild claims the M version will be seen by 2016. The magazine claims that it will carry a twin-turbo V-8 engine that develops around 600 horsepower. This should be enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3 seconds and up to a top speed of 200 mph. The model will reportedly keep i8’s carbon-fiber passenger cell that will help keep its curb weight of about 1,500 kg (3,300 pounds).

Wearing heavy camouflage gear on its front and rear, the new Challenger is expected to sport new bumpers, revised lights and perhaps a new hood design. The rest of the car is likely to stay the same, although we may see Dodge introduce some new wheel patterns and colors.

An eight-speed automatic should be offered across the range, along with some new tech features such as the latest Uconnect interface, a reversing camera, and possibly even radar and camera monitoring systems.
