BMW 8 Series
The return of the BMW 8 Series is spearheaded by a coupe and cabriolet, although a four-door Gran Coupé variant could also eventually appear. The M850i xDrive versions get a 523-horsepower, twin-turbo V8 and all-wheel drive, providing these grand touring cars with exhilarating performance. In addition, the sumptuous cockpit of the 8 Series includes the German brand's latest design cues. An M8 with more than 600 horsepower should also be introduced.
