All BEV Ms...
For context it's also valid BEVs are going to weigh quite a bit more, be more digital, be harder to refuel/charge in dynamic situations, less dynamic due to weight, have a shorter long term life expectancy, harder to repair, self drive and if it overheats and catches fire is going to result in the usage of a lot of water to put it out.
I'm all for use case. But in certain situations an EV doesn't make sense with today's tech. A few generations from now perhaps.
Track work, heavy duty applications, long haul and long term usage ICE is in for the win.

Show me a 911 with 1800Hp,...that's affordable to folks in these Forum. I get the concerns of weight,...charging,...battery tech, etc., however, a day will come when a battery can be fully recharged as fast as one pours water into a glass! Faster charging,...less battery capacity needed in terms of cells! Also, the range of BEVs will surely vary as one may be able to select several different power levels. For instance, lets take a 1200Hp BEV M3,...or M5 and the BMW engineers allows for no less than some 5 to 7 different power levels!
As in:
100% = 1200Hp ---> 300 miles
90% = 1080Hp ---> 330 miles
75% = 900Hp ---> 375 miles
60% = 720Hp ---> 420 miles
50% = 600Hp ---> 450 miles
35% = 420Hp ---> 495 miles
25% = 300Hp ---> 525 miles
Naturally, the lower the power output level, the lower the power consumption, the higher the range!
I'd think this would be easy-peasy coding for BEVs!
