02 BMW M8 Gran Coupe
Reviving a neglected – but well-loved – nameplate at Munich’s Bayerische Motoren Werke, the 8-series is a long-awaited replacement for the iconic 840i/850i (pop-up headlamps, anyone?) last sold in the previous century. Still in the concept stage, the M8 Gran Coupe will serve as the range topper and is slated in 2019 to complete the family of two-doors and convertibles due out this year.
Expect typical BMW M touches, such as a roof made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic and a 4.4-litre V8 motor that will most certainly exceed the M5’s 591 bhp power by a sizeable margin.
