Won't happen. The AMG GT is has mid-front engine layout, it has dry sump engine, it has transaxle transmission. I don't recall any production BMW ever having dry sump lubrication or transaxle transmission. Toyota on the other hand did that with the LFA, so if they keep that recipe for the FT-1 production car, BMW might also profit from that, and only then it can be a real AMG GT or 911 contender.
