The only other car in the e92 m3 price range that came close is the GT350. Even then the power band is similar, but the voodoo engine design is somewhat different and the refinement in the car itself is not the same.

I think the more likely thing to happen is an NA motor augmented by electric motors that are powering only the front wheels. As motors move to in-hub designs, this will happen.
Ferrari is doing this with the new SF90 - this provides torque vectoring at all 4 wheels. That thing will be a monster on track.
