Seen on the M25, the new 8 Series

[dafeller]

Friday afternoon, we came upon this beast moving North on the M25 just past Heathrow. She came off as a pretty large car, and at first it gave the impression of a bloated F-Type from some angles, but the 'overbite' front-end treatment, rear quarter window cutoff and the tail lights suggested that it was more likely the upcoming BMW coupe. Perhaps not. New Jag XK anybody?



Five minutes after we lost touch with this, a cammo Rolls Royce passed us going the other way!

Could the new Vanquish be getting a V8?

My Car Check says the engine size is 3982cc.

That would be the MB C63/E63 M177 engine then - currently in various tunes from 476 - 612 bhp, leaving quite a wide window for the Vanquish.

Not a Jag - JLR test plates seem to start with a V.

New Vantage?

Edited to add: if OP says it's big, then probably not!

I saw something similar on the M6 yesterday - no Camo, looked like a Panamera that someone was halfway through putting a rubbish fibreglass bodykit on.
