BMW M8

[rottie102]

"The M8-Prototype is perhaps the best-kept secret of BMW and for the first time, BMW has unveiled the on-off car in front of journalists at the BMW Museum in Munich. Despite several false reports in the past, the M8 prototype has not been destroyed by BMW and it still exists in a special facility in Munich."

Looks lovely that. On a side note I just checked the classifieds and 8 Series' are cheap now aren't they...

Of course a motorway is faster than a range of paper sizes!

Spaff. More cars need V12 engines on throttle bodies.

I am sure development was halted on this when it was deemed unsafe for road use by BMW.
Can't remember the details but there were some pretty big issues.

Not as cheap as they used to be! I was considering one instead of my XJ, insurance pushed me towards the XJ. If I'd kept the 840 in good order I could have joined the mythical ranks of those who have 'sold in 2 years for a profit' whereas the XJ continued dropping like a stone...

Lovely engine bay has to be said. I'm glad it's not been destroyed, epic piece of motoring.

An amazing bit of kit, would love to see this in action one day, it must sound incredible.
