Considering it's based on a BMW, I'm not sure why it would matter.
These days, Sportscar sales are way down.
Motorcycle sales are way down.
Convertible sales are way down.
Reading into these trends, driver involvement is becoming much less of a priority.
The other issue is that electric cars are going to be taking center stage soon and they have 100% torque available instantly at all rpm's without waiting for a downshift. The batteries on the floor mean they have extremely low CG. When a basic people mover can do a 0-60 in under 4 sec with instantaneous power delivery, much higher safety in terms of rollover and crashes, a car dedicated to sporty driving becomes a harder sell.
In the near future self driving cars will become commonplace and at some point probably mandatory. An entire generation will likely grow up attached to their smart phone / AR device and get shuttled around before they are old enough to drive, so they won't bother learning.
People will need to go to race tracks or off road courses to "drive" in any way that could be considered sporty.
The big question is whether weekend track days will suddenly become more popular or if people will start to forget about driving since driving will end up being something "quaint" in every day use.
If horseback riding is any indication there will always be people who enjoy riding a horse and there will always be a place for people to go to ride. Similarly the automotive culture will end up being a hobby for a certain group a people who consider it fun.
