This year marks the 50th anniversary of the BMW M brand, and the BMW Group will continue to attack the high-performance segment with its powerful products. In 2022, the BMW M brand took the lead in the strong debut of the new BMW M8, from the performance point of view, BMW M8 is still the "performance ceiling" that BMW can currently buy, continuing to use a very classic V8 structure 4.4T twin-turbo engine; the transmission system is still familiar to everyone 8AT hand automatic transmission, and equipped with xDrive four-wheel drive system. 0-100km/h acceleration also takes only 3.2 seconds, for performance-controlled group members, you can identify it as a target as soon as possible.
Although ŠKODA's domestic sales have declined in the past two years, unlike the stubbornness of French cars, Skoda is very willing to fully transform its products according to the needs of localized markets. For example, the new Kolok, although the new car belongs to the mid-term redesign, but for the appearance, interior and configuration has made a large adjustment, the most worthwhile is that the front and rear headlights changed to LED light groups, the dashboard changed to 8-inch full LCD, and the heating and ESC function of the exterior mirror, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and other comfort features have become the standard of the whole series.

I've always thought of the Speedpipe as a very competitive mid-range car, after all, its two brothers, Volkswagen Passat/Magotan, are called benchmarks of this level, and the former is not fundamentally different from the platform/sharing three major pieces.
