Well it is the F13 replacement, did you expect it to be dramatically different?

0-100 km/h in 3.7s, 530 Hp / 750 MN torque.

A fast, luxuous barge indeed!

Good question. I'm not quite sure what I expected. Reading about this one it seems it doesn't handle very well and it's a bit of a tank. I guess I'm thinking that it doesn't appear worthy of the ///M moniker.

I think part of the issue is that people keep on trying to compare these large coupes to 911s for some reason. They really need to be considered a cheaper option than a S coupe or DBS and even a Continental GT. The M6 was always much more capable around a track than those cars and I suspect the M8 will continue this.

The DBS Superleggera and the Ferrari GTC4 are a bit more special and sporty but they are a lot more expensive.
