I think this is common sense: just like we know from the model designation of a gas car what engine it has and its power output, the same should be true with BEVs: a BMW with "50" in its name and dual motors should produce the same power no matter which specific model it is.

We don't know battery capacities, so those could still be further (more significant?) differentiators between these various new model names. Still, this is disappointing. With the M60 setup also headed for the G70 7 Series, I was hoping for more - 600hp at the very least to sort of pick up where the V12 left off (as the name M60 might imply). I suppose we'll have to wait for M70 or M80 or some-such for that.

I have some suspicion (not confirmed by anything, mind you) that G70 will have different powertrain hardware from G26 and I20.
