do we have 600 hp and 617 hp? or just like the M5 (591 and 617)?

power in kW would make it clear

those M8 coupé and convertible are stunning!!
I wish the instrument cluster was configurable in a way that makes it possible to choose to display M5's cluster or even the good old BMW's orange instrument cluster with gauges (since it's digital, it is possible to do it)
I thinks it is a typo in the OP (US press release ?). Other BMW press documentation show the same power numbers as the M5: 600hpDIN/440kW base and 625hpDIN/460kW Competition.
