M8 Competition Gran Coupe  Starts at: 130,000 $

The history of the BMW M8 leads back to 1990 when BMW decided to make it a Sport Coupe. However the car never really made it into production and it was kept secret for years. However, the world saw only one prototype in bright Ketchup red. In 2012 it was unveiled publicly.

Fast forward to BMW M8: 

BMW M8 is the fastest most powerful Luxury Sedan BMW has ever produced. M8 falls under the GT category more than the sports sedan due to its heavy styling however when you push the pedal down it turns into an absolute monster.

Engine & Performance:

BMW M8 comes with a powerful 4.4-liter V8 with whooping 600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. However, the Competition package makes up to 617 horsepower. The BMW M8 uses 8-speed automatic transmission with the shifting pedals mounted on the steering back for faster swift gear changes on track. BMW M8’’s drive train is based on an all-wheel-drive system enabling the suspension to torque-vector across the rear axle for increased grips over the corner.

BMW M8 no doubt is a big car with big power, the 600hp mark claims to leap from 0-60 in just 3.0 seconds. The acceleration in BMW M8 seems never-ending as the top-end horsepower is brutally remarkable.

What’s in the BMW M8 Box?

BMW M8 comes with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and Head UP Display (HUD). The BMW M8 has new Electric Booster brakes which are not yet praised too much in any car due to their upcoming due progressions. BMW claims that the newer M8 despite being heavier and bulkier with modern aggressive styling weighs 11 pounds less than the BMW 850i. The M8 has BMW’s signature steering with plenty of controls mounted. The interior styling is sleek with overall black color in the interior. A small shift knob on the center console with a driving mode knob in carbon-fiber fashion. The overall accents are stitched. The infotainment screen is mounted on top of the dashboard upwards on AC vents. Side door bars say BMW M8 or M8 Competition whichever you opt for. Overall the interior styling is top-notch as you’d expect in flagship BMW.
