BMW is all about all the details, but we heard that this fully camouflaged BMW M8 prototype “will be unveiled in a driving presentation as part of the support program for the Nürburgring 24-hour race.”

Comparing to thenew BMW Concept 8 Series, this M version sports igger air intakes, larger brakes, and an exhaust with four tailpipes instead of two refined and hexagonal ones.

“The conception and development of the standard BMW 8 Series and the M model run in parallel”

“The future BMW M8 will build on the genes of the 8 Series and augment its DNA with added track ability and generous extra portions of dynamic sharpness, precision and agility. It all flows into a driving experience that bears the familiar BMW M hallmarks and satisfies our customers’ most exacting requirements.” Also in the works is a race-spec car, the BMW M8 GTE, for the return of BMW Motorsport to Le Mans, says BMW.

“The BMW M8 GTE development program for our Le Mans comeback is in full swing,” said Jens Marquardt, BMW Motorsport director, in a release.

“Developing a new racing car is always exciting, and in the case of the BMW M8 GTE the anticipation is that much greater still. We can’t reveal any pictures yet, but I can promise you that the BMW M8 GTE will look spectacular. We are planning an initial roll-out for the first half of this year and are looking at giving the car its race debut in the Daytona 24 Hours in late January 2018.”
