The positioning of the BMW M8 is a large coupe, and the audience in China is relatively small, and the 8 series is more common. But what I didn't expect was that the M8's mid-term redesign came so quickly. However, it is said that it is a mid-term change, but the difference in shape is not so obvious, so we think it cannot be called a medium-term change, at most it is a small change.
From the appearance point of view, the new BMW M8 still has a relatively flat, narrow and long appearance design, and the "double kidney" pattern of the middle network has not changed, or that. The headlights on both sides have no exaggerated design, but they look very elegant, not like the M series models. The bottom grille is still three-stage, which is very common, and if it is compared with other models in the M Power family, it may not be as performance car-like, more elegant.
New cars will be available overseas in three types: hard-top double-door, four-door coupe, and two-door convertible. However, there is no convertible in China, which means that there will only be a two-door or four-door coupe version. The shape of the side slipback is obvious, from the A-pillar to the bottom, it is indeed not very friendly to the rear passengers, but the decoration of the rear of this level of the car is more meaningful than practical.
There are changes inside the car, but there are also very few, mainly the size of the screen has been upgraded from 10.25 inches to 12.3 inches. Other parts such as the "thong" steering wheel with the M logo, and the M mark that can be seen everywhere. In terms of configuration, the overseas version will add some comfort configuration, but for the domestic version, it is generally standard, so there should not be much change.
The M8 is still powered by a 4.4T twin-turbo V8 engine, which, in reference to the current model, can output up to 600-625Ps of horsepower and a maximum torque of 750 N·m. Match the 8AT gearbox and all-wheel drive system. It is reported that the new M8 will not have a normal version, but a full-line Thunder version.
GO Car Jun Comment: M8 as the highest sequence of models in the current M Power family, the power unit equipped with it certainly does not have to worry, but in terms of styling, there is definitely no M3/M4 to be hardcore. It feels more elegant and calm.
