The red car looks more aggressive than the blue car. What's the difference in equipment?

I hear ya brother but AWD is likely responsible only responsible for 300+ pounds. This thing is fat and bloated.

The F90 M5 is fast but its tough to throw into a corner because of the weight.

I wonder what the weight savings will be for the m8 versus this.

Love it..but 20s look small on this car, at least in pics.

And i liked the "8 series" cover between the center console and the A/c unit on the concept more than this gap that it has now. The solution from the concept makes the interior flow better.

With the weight of the M850i already being over 4,400lbs, I'm willing to bet the M8 won't be hardly any lighter than the F90 M5. Maybe 30lbs lighter. We'll see, but GT cars aren't meant to be light so I'm not complaining. I still wish BMW would come up with a light 911-fighter, but hardly anyone does GT Coupe cars like BMW.

different intakes, carbon roof, front lip.... lots of differences but no answer yet (that I've seen) on what it is? My first thought was that the orange car was the M8 but its not so I'm just confused.

maybe a performance package or something.

Wonder if the carbon roof on the orange model, is an M Performance part which is installed aftermarket... (like the M2C)

To be fair, the 911 has much more of its weight balance on the rear, so it actually benefits from strong rear brakes much more than the cars with a forward weight bias.

Doesn't really excuse things, but outside of the AMG, the others are more of a big, heavy GT, not actual sports cars.
