BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe: 600bhp twin-turbo coupe available to order

The BMW M8 Gran Coupe is available to order now, with deliveries expected early next year.

Priced from £120,935, the M8 signals the next chapter of the brand’s model offensive in the luxury segment and combines the performance, agility and precision you would expect from an M-division car.

With BMW’s familiar twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine, the Gran Coupe offers 625hp and 750Nm of torque. 0-62mph is achieved in 3.2 seconds up to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

The M xDrive system has a rear-biased configuration in its default 4WD mode and is powered by an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Designed to exude this level of power and performance, this encompasses a much more aggressive bodykit over the 8 Series Gran Coupe, 20-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler and large air intakes.

Step inside and a Setup button on the centre console gives the driver direct access to the settings for the engine, dampers, steering, M xDrive and braking system.

Standard equipment includes Adaptive LED Headlights with high beam assist, an M-specific BMW Head-Up Display, M sports seats, four-zone air conditioning, front and rear heated seats, Driving Assistant and the Parking Assistant Plus.

The new BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe will receive its world premieres at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
