BMW
What M8 Competition Coupe
The appeal The new model is a 2+2-seater grand tourer that really packs a punch—equipped with a 4.4L V8 twin-turbocharged engine, it only takes 3.2sec to do the century sprint. With 625hp, it is the most powerful M car made yet.
Other details Its top speed is an electronically limited 250km/h, but with the optional M Driver’s package, it can go up to 305km/h. The model is also available in a convertible version.
The perfect road trip with the M8 Competition Coupe would be… “taking it out on the Nürburgring in Germany, specifically the Nordschleife route which goes through the Eifel forests. It is well known as one of the most demanding tracks in the world, with tricky corners, crests, steep inclines and gradients. Highly skilled drivers, and their vehicles, are put to the test on this track!” says Christopher Wehner, managing director of BMW Group Asia.
Next for BMW Production of the marque's fully electric BMW iNext will begin in 2021. The car will be the first in the world to be equipped with 5G technology from Samsung and its subsidiary, Harman. It will also feature a fifth-generation electric drive unit with a range of over 600km, and is designed for Level 3 automated driving.
