Which still isn't a competitor to the M8.
The Panamera is roughly the same weight as the M8, and the only version that has run on the same track with the same driver, albeit on a different day, was a full seven seconds slower that the M8. Granted it was the Panamera GTS, but I don't see any Panamera beating the M8 Competition at Hockenheim GP by a wide margin.

Unless BMW has it wrong, they wanted to directly compete with the 911 and there it’s quite a bit slower than the now generation old turbo which is its most direct competition from the 911 and similar pricing. The old Panamera GTS was not only heavier but also had about 200 less hp, and more realistically more than that so hard to tell but the turbo and turbo S can definitely put down some fast track times.
