Bluebird DC50 electric supercar (2014) pays tribute to Land Speed Record legend

The Bluebird name is back – and this time it’s on a road-legal supercar.

That now looks likely to happen in 2016 as, according to Automotive News, BMW is to end production of the MINI Countryman and Paceman at Magna Steyr in Austria in 2016 and move production of the Countryman and Paceman to Oxford and the new MINI Plant in the Netherlands.
