据宝马博客报道，宝马将在日内瓦车展发布M8GranCoupe概念车，该车将搭载一台4.4升V8双涡轮引擎，功率超过600马力，搭配ZF提供的专门为该车开发的八速自动变速器，车辆百公里加速时间约为3秒。虽然预计8系将将于今年晚些时候发布，但宝马博客介绍，这款车将在2019年底或2020年初发布。除了M8 Gran Coupe，宝马还将在日内瓦车展发布第二代X4和X2以及M3 CS和中期改款2系Active Tourer和Gran Tourer MPV车型。

 

BMW M8 Gran Coupe Concept Debuting Next Month In Geneva?

Right off the bat we should mention there’s a perfectly good reason why the adjacent design sketch may seem familiar to some BMW aficionados: it’s showing the 2010 Gran Coupe Concept. Now that that’s taken care of, the rumor about BMW M’s plans to introduce a concept car at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show next month is back and we finally have a name: M8 Gran Coupe.

 

BMWBlog is reporting the four-door sibling of the already confirmed M8 Coupe and M8 Convertible will be previewed at the 88th edition of the Swiss event. It is believed the concept car in question won’t be revealed online beforehand, so try and act surprised come March 6 during the first press day of the show.

 

The M8 Gran Coupe will be billed as a design study, which means BMW won’t be generous with the technical specifications. That being said, logic tells us the production version will get the same biturbo 4.4-liter V8 engine as the GC’s two-door counterparts, so expect output to surpass the 600-horsepower mark. The same report goes on to specify a newly developed eight-speed automatic transmission ZF will channel all that power to the wheels to help the car hit 62 mph (100 kph) in approximately three seconds.

 

The much-awaited revival of the 8 Series will finally happen later this year, but BMWBlog says you’ll have to patiently wait until late 2019 or early 2020 to place an order for the M8 Gran Coupe.
