The fuel consumption, CO2 emission and electric power consumption figures are determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 2007/715 in the version applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany. The range shown considers the different sizes of the selected wheels/tyres and the selected items of optional equipment, and may vary during configuration.
– High-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and up to 460 kW/625 hp. Two turbochargers, cross-bank exhaust manifolds, cooling and oil supply concept optimised for track use, sports exhaust system with electrically controlled flaps delivers emotionally rich soundtrack.
– Power transfer via eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and M xDrive all-wheel drive. Rear-biased set-up and link-up with Active M Differential. Choice of three modes: 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD with pure rear-wheel drive and deactivated driving stability control.
– Exceptional performance: new BMW M8 Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds, new BMW M8 Competition Coupe in 3.2 seconds, new BMW M8 Convertible in 3.4 seconds and new BMW M8 Competition Convertible in 3.3 seconds.
– Signature M combination of dynamic flair, agility and precision honed during in-depth tuning work at the Miramas and Arjeplog test centres, on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit and around other race tracks. Developed alongside BMW M8 GTE endurance racer.
– Performance-focused vehicle concept with minimised weight, low centre of gravity, ideal wheelbase, wide tracks and precisely tuned aerodynamic balance. BMW M8 Coupe and BMW M8 Competition Coupe with roof made from carbon fibre-reinforced plastic; BMW M8 Convertible and BMW M8 Competition Convertible have a soft-top with electric opening and closing.
