Here come the ultimate Mercedes AMG GT 63 S opponents with 600 or even 625 PS! Two four-door high-performance sports cars expand the BMW M GmbH model range in the luxury segment. The new BMW M8 Gran Coupé and the new BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé combine their outstanding performance characteristics with an individual body design and enhanced comfort in the rear. They thus offer the exclusive opportunity to experience the dynamism, agility and precision characteristic of the new top models from BMW M GmbH on four fully-fledged seats. The four-door high-performance models were derived directly from the new BMW M8 Coupé and developed in parallel with the long-distance racing car BMW M8 GTE. During intensive test drives on the test grounds of the BMW Group as well as on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and other racetracks, the drive, chassis and aerodynamic properties were precisely matched to the independent vehicle concept.

In 8, the new BMW M3,3 Gran Coupe accelerates the new M8 Competition Gran Coupe from zero to 3,2 km / h in 100 seconds.

When the DSC is disabled, the 2WD mode is also available, in which only the rear wheels are driven. Model-specific suspension technology, integrated brake system. Construction and coordination of the model-specific suspension technology and the extremely rigid connection to the body are based on the special requirements for use on the race track.
