Many complain that BMW and other major brands are increasingly parked their identity to bet on crossover or electric cars. Well, it seems that now BMW wants to close the mouth to all those critics with the development of the BMW M8, a vehicle that lovers of the sports variant of the German brand for years that were waiting.
BMW M8
Many will remember the famous BMW 8 Series, one of the most important lines in the history of the brand, although the model is not included among the most prominent in its history. However, many were able to appreciate the sporty and aggressive mood of this asphalt beast, which was produced by the German brand between 1989 and 1999.
During this time, there were many who also advocated an M version of this Series 8, an even more powerful model that broke with the schemes of everything the brand had done. The rumors became more intense in 1991, when reports began to emerge that BMW was developing a V12 model with 650 horsepower. However, this BMW M8 at the end did not see the light, but took advantage of the technology developed for the famous McLaren P1.
Now, almost 20 years after the 8 Series stopped manufacturing, the German firm has confirmed that it is working on a new version of this model, which has already been shown as a concept car. But undoubtedly the most celebrated news has been the confirmation that this time it will be accompanied by an M8 version, which has also been officially presented taking advantage of the 24-hour Nurburgring.
Actually, there will be several models that will go to production. On the one hand, we have the normal Series 8. Then there will be the very expected M8. But in addition to that, BMW will put on the market an intermediate model between the two, which will be an 8 M Series, that is, the 8 Series with the M Series aerodynamic package. In the same way, a version called M8 GTE will also be built, which will be exclusive for the world of resistance, on the occasion of the return of BMW to this competition.
