BMW 8 Series
The four-door Gran Coupé has been added for 2020, alongside the Coupé and the Cabriolet. The M850i variants boast a twin-turbo V8 developing 523 horsepower, but the M8 editions belt out 600 horsepower and even 617 in the case of the M8 Competition. Obviously, the cockpit is dressed up with leather upholsteries as well as wood, carbon fibre or metallic accenting. The Cabriolet’s top can be lowered or raised in seconds, even while the car is at speed.
