The AMG GT4 is nothing but a CLS breathed on by AMG. You’re out of your mind if you don’t think the M8 could compete at that level. Or a troll. You pick, I don’t care either way.

M8 Gran Coupe may earn the ultimate driving machine title. Looking forward to the test drive / less so towards first year depreciation.

I'm #1 on the list for the M8 at my dealer. However, after sitting in the 850 tonight at the X7 preview I am not sure I want the M8. Cockpit is really tight and the windshield rake is significant.

For 150-180k I'd personally take a GT3 or turbo S over the M8 any day of the week, but that's not to say I don't like this car. The M8 will definitely be as niche as the Z4 IMO Due to its price range.
For M cars, most buyers usually stop at 4, and some at 5, to use as a daily then have a more exotic non BMW car as a weekend toy. That's only what I've seen on the forums here and in person. Could be wrong though. I'm sure it'll sell, but nowhere near as desirable as a P-Car. Not bashing this car FYI. I hope it's super successful since I'm a hardcore, but realistic, bmw enthusiast.

I thought this was supposed to have the M8 GTE's transaxle... the information in the OP sounds like it's just going to have the M5's drivetrain instead.

Yes, exactly. I cant put my finger on it but somehow it seems the shadow of the 6 series is casted over this new 8 series. Makes it hard to justify the pricing.
Very curious product positioning/marketing case. They tried so hard though - even the badge is different. |

I'm afraid M8 production version cannot afford to go any softer looking in this game. Should be exactly as the concept car is.

But yeah it's a 2 door M5 off the track. On the track I'd hope it turns out a step up. |

I doubt they succeed but that's the marketing push they are going for. |

From Automobile Magazine:
"We’re told that already the M8’s Nürburgring lap time is beyond any other M product to date … including the M4 GTS, which managed a 7 minute, 28 second lap back in 2015." Read it here https://www.automobilemag.com/news/t...p-to-be-great/ |
