2020 BMW M8 Competition Coupe
The ultimate BMW car engineered for the driving enthusiast. Consider its 0-62mph acceleration speeds of just 3.2 seconds made possible by a high-revving 625 horsepower M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. It’s monstrous in every conceivable way – an exceptional combination of dynamic flair, agility and precision. BMW achieved this by developing the car alongside its BMW M8 GTE endurance racer, fine tuning it at its Miramas and Arjeplog test centers while pushing its capabilities to the limit on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and other racing circuits. Its top speed is 155mph, though this can be raised to 190mph thanks to BMW’s optional M Driver’s package adding tires rated for high speed to the car. With a peak torque of 553 lb-ft at 5,800 rpm, sophisticated cooling systems and innovative aerodynamics, the BMW M8 Competition Coupe is a car made for those who dare to go the extra mile.
