The lightest in its class.. By a mile.
300 lbs lighter than S Class Coupe! 100 lbs lighter than RS 7.

If you want light, there are other models.

No, Carbon Package is all installed at the factory so the carbon roof is installed just like the M3 and M4.

The red / orange car has the Carbon Package. The blue car does not.

How is that the 7 series has a 760 with a V12 and the 8 series is only 850 with a V8? Noob question but I would like someone to clarify it

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Now THIS looks good.

If this is how the normal 8 series looks- i can't even begin to imagine how aggressive/stunning the m8 will look.

Exterior is a definite win and I actually prefer the regular car with the silver blades in the front grill, but I do feel the interior is kinda of bland. Really dislike what BMW is doing with their nav screens now, the side bezels have become unnecessary huge just for the sake of making the thing look like a trapezoid. That's something I'd definitely change if I had the car (we can dream &#128519

I'm not sure why people are thinking this is a $100k base car. That's about where the equivalent 6er was. This is supposed to be an upgrade from that car to compete with the Merc S Klasse coupe, and that car starts around $125k. BMWs are usually a bit less expensive, so I'd guess this car starts out at $115 - $120k.

Yes, the orange one features the Carbon Package

Dude, the competition as follows:

Continental GT V8 4WD 528hp --------------- 2,295kg/5059lbs
DB11 V8 RWD 503hp ---------------------------- 2,180kg/4806lbs
S 460 Coupe 4WD 469hp ---------------------- 2,060kg/4541lbs
LC 500 V8 RWD 477hp -------------------------- 1,935kg/4265lbs
(auto-data.net)

vs AWD 530hp and 2030kg/4478lbs - smells like roasted english chicken

Nice

Very nice design, maybe with a complex rear end.
Interior seems nice but more sporty thank luxurious.
Digital dash: maybe I am too old school as the rev counter goes anti clockwise... this is a fad and not logical if derived from motorsports.
Overall well done.

What a shame that the cupholder/storage area doesn't close flush with the dashboard like it does on the Concept. Really defeats the purpose of this Aston Martin-like dashboard style as a flowing extension of the center console.

are you serious? base model 8 series to compete with 911 Turbo S and AMG- GTR ?




the " first ever M8" is coming..
the " first ever M8 competition " will follow...

likely followed by an M8 CS..... so.. sometime around THEN... perhaps you can start start THINKING about making a comparison between this GT car based on pricing between it and the 911 Turbo S.. even though the 911 is a full on sports car. .
