Earlier in the year, BMW attempted to keep the BMW 8 series return quiet. That didn’t work as the internet slowly flooded with rumours of its return, and if you looked a little deeper, there was something a little juicier.<\/p>\n
Those rumours are 100% true and to make it even more exciting, the German brand is to head the series with a performance version named the M8.<\/p>\n
BMW hasn’t confirmed if the M8 is to be produced in coupe or sedan form. If they go for the two-door setup, they can take the fight straight to the Bentley Continental GT Speed<\/a> and Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG coupe<\/a>.<\/p>\n If they decide to build a sedan model, the Porsche Panamera<\/a> and Mercedes S-Class sedan are on the radar. A convertible version is also said to be on the table.<\/p>\n Powering the flagship model of the BMW 8 Series is a brand V8 4-litre petrol engine aided by two turbochargers. Rear wheel drive is expected as standard mated to a dual-clutch transmission with all-wheel drive being available at an extra cost.<\/p>\n Horsepower figures look to be pegged at 600, and with the all-wheel drive setup, the luxury vehicle is expected to hit 0-100 km\/h in around four seconds. Top speed remains a mystery, with the specs mentioned above, 250+ km\/h is nowhere close to what it could do.<\/p>\n The revitalised\u00a0BMW 8 series is said to launch towards the mid-point of 2019 and is also said to be replacing the BMW 6 series<\/a>.<\/p>\n Looking to by a prime German vehicle?
