Introduction
BMW has resurrected its iconic vehicle, originally launched between 1989 and 1999, unveiling the eagerly awaited 8 Series Coupe. This model adds a new chapter to the illustrious history of the German automaker. The introduction of this model aims to compete in the highly competitive segment of luxury sports cars, going head-to-head with renowned names like Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and the now-discontinued Audi A9, which ceased production nearly 19 years ago.
Car Design
The 8 Series Coupe stands out distinctly from other models in the brand's lineup, featuring a series of headlights that are the most sophisticated among BMW models, including optional Laserlight technology. Key design features include:
- Deeply sculpted hood with intricate details.
- Low front grille.
- Design bulges reminiscent of muscle cars.
Interior Cabin
The 8 Series Coupe is crafted to offer a unique blend of luxury and contemporary comfort. The cabin features standard Finoska leather, complemented by glass elements adorning the gear shifter and control buttons throughout the interior. The list of standard equipment also includes:
- 7.0-inch central display.
- 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
- Steering wheel control buttons.
- Voice control system.
- BMW's gesture control system.
Technology and Performance
With the level of advancement seen in both the M8 and M8 GTE, this technology is encapsulated in the 8 Series Coupe, making it a standout vehicle in every sense. The car adopts a balanced weight distribution system, a structure made from aluminum, magnesium, and carbon, a rear differential lock, interactive steering, adaptive suspension systems, and a low center of gravity.
Additional Information
The 8 Series Coupe is expected to hit the markets in November 2018, with the exciting M850i xDrive variant set to launch in the Middle East. This model delivers an impressive 530 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque from its 4.4-liter V8 engine, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
