8 Series Revival

BMW’s decision to revive the 8 Series nameplate will spawn a range of sleek, high-powered variants, including a barnstorming M8 flagship.

Don’t get too excited for a V12, though. Despite the abandoned M8 project from 1989 having an orchestral bent-12, the modern iteration – seen here in our artist’s impression – will be sticking to a proven eight-cylinder layout, lifted from the forthcoming M5. The reworked 4.4-litre twin-turbo features new turbochargers and fuel injectors compared to the outgoing F10 M5’s powerplant.
