2010 600hp V12 M8?

[Ray McCooney]

There has been much speculation concerning the possible return of the 8 series. Most believe it will take the form of the recent CS concept:



Although it's intended competition or market niche seems to be more uncertain than it's eventual existence. Most initially believed it would compete directly with the Merc CLS, although a new motion has been made that this car may actually occupy a price bracket above the CLS and as a course will more compete with the Merc CL. Interesting to say the least. I hardly doubt an "M8" will be born as the M6 already pushes the envelope of the "M" design ideology, much in the same as we will probably never see an M7 or MX5 (miata puns aside). They probably will offer an equivalent of a "csi" option though, much in the same as the movement for a "135tii" instead of an actual M1 (which is historic and significant). Of course M-pack treatments will probably be offered just as they are offered across the board. Meh.

...Meh.

My thoughts on the car too. I first thought it looked like a bloated Quadraporte with flame front surfacing. (And ricer eyebrows). The kidneys are the ONLY thing on that car that screams BMW at me. Maybe the hockenheim kink. Maybe, but that even hearkens to similarity not that there are Accords/Kias/Corollas running around with it.

CS concept:

This should be a 7 series, or some sort of M sedan.

BMW "NEW 8 series"- not sleek, doesnt look powerful, and not a SUPERCAR. in other words a CAMERY

this looks like a overgrown 6 series. or then again it looks like a mercedes from the firewall back. and i hate merc's. a 8 series needs to stand out from the rest of the product line up. not look like a current model.
