500 hp. Omg, are we going to need all wheel drive like in the M5 ?
Seriously though, this car actually seems to harken back toward the E30 M3, when BMW made a race car to compete in Gruppe A and Gruppe N and *then* transferred it over to being a street car.
Seemingly every other race car that BMW has made was more converting a street car to a race car, particularly recently with the z4 GTE and the M6 GTE as described above.
While I will never be able to afford one probably, I'm very excited to see the M8 road car as it looks to really be developed with a new philosophy.
RACE IT, then STREET IT.
