Previewed by the 8-Series concept, the production model has a
tamer appearance but remains pretty faithful to the original as it features
slender headlights and a large grille with chrome trim. The car also has a more
conventional front bumper and redesigned mirrors with integrated turn signals.
The sporty styling continues out back as the
8-Series has a ventilated rear fascia and a dual exhaust system. We can also
see slim taillights and dark cladding on the lower bumper.
The pictures are pretty blurry but this particular
model appears to be wearing 850i badging. If the 750i is any indication, it could
mean the coupe is powered by a 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 engine that
produces 445 hp and 648 Nm of torque.
The BMW 8-Series Coupe will go into production later
this year and it will be joined by a convertible variant. M8 versions are also
in the works and BMW M boss Frank van Meel has suggested they could be more
powerful than the M5 which develops 600 hp and 748 Nm of
torque.
