BMW M8 Gran Coupe got its work cut out for it

This car looks amazing!!

630hp and 664tq!

The only stat I could find on curb weight says that it'll weigh a maximum of a little over 4,500lbs, which I think is a bit lighter than the E63S.

Rear leg room in this car doesn't look cramped either.

That interior though!

Alot of dialogue about this car on the benz forums; the pricing is gonna be Panamera Turbo high I fear and that will limit the sales.

Yeah I heard that too about the price. Mainly that it'll cost more than a brand new S63 AMG. But still, for that money I think it's worth it over both the Panny and the E63S. The car is just simply beautiful!

Well its probably worth the price point adjustment over the Panny but the average Panny is 175k or more. I disagree with the E63S part as the margin will be circa 60k or higher average msrp vs average msrp.

Agree with Vic, the Delta on this thing will be about 50k to the E63. Fours door you will always take a bath just how much you can stomach.

Saw one today at Laguna Seca. Very sharp looking car but the M8 GC is going to look fantastic too. By the way the non-M 8 series prices are looking, the M8 GC will probably creeping toward the Panamera Turbo realm also. Crazy.

If this car perform on track like the two door GT series, it will be a monster.

Vic, this is your next car after the F90 M5.

What an absurdly attractive steering wheel. Kudos to Merc for also presenting the car in a *quality* colour such a frozen/satin dark gray.
