IHS predicts the newly launched BMW i8 plug-in hybrid supercar, which starts at 126,000 euros in Germany, will outsell all other supercars in 2015 with a volume of about 1,700. Next year is also when McLaren’s lowest-priced model, code-named P13, will debut. McLaren has said the car’s base price will be about 160,000 euros. The segment is forecast to get another boost in 2016 with the arrival of the new generations of the Audi R8 and Ferrari 458 Italia.
IHS predicts that Ferrari will sell nearly 1,500 units of its revised 458 in 2016 and that Audi will lead the segment with a volume of nearly 2,400 R8s. “New models do certainly drag those with the money into the market,” Fletcher said.
McLaren executives say that automakers have to be fast in updating or replacing older models. “There’s an element of customers wanting something quicker, the desire to have something newest and best,” McLaren Chief Financial Officer Richard Molyneaux told Automotive News Europe earlier this year. “Something like an Astra or Corsa is typically in a five-year cycle. You can’t have that at this level of the market.”
