2023 BMW M8 Coupe Performance

We've established that the BMW M8 is not exactly a track weapon; this grand tourer prefers destroying smaller and weaker cars in a straight line, and that's where its true performance potential lies. This German muscle car will place severe strain on your neck when it launches, and the manufacturer claims a 0-60 time for the BMW M8 of just three seconds. Those figures are helped by the fact that all M8 cars come standard with the Competition package that adds a bit of power and a few custom tricks to the chassis. In this guise, the 4.4L V8 engine in the BMW M8 produces 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, and power goes to all four wheels for maximum traction. When fitted with the correct tires, this all-wheel-drive behemoth will reach a top speed of 190 mph, but with a bit of aftermarket tuning, the sky's the limit.

愿这盛大的引擎touring weaponized vehicle is a true gem. With 4.4 liters of V8 displacement and the added force of two turbochargers, you're looking at a power output of 617 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 553 lb-ft of torque from as low as 1,800 rpm. A quick and precise eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four corners. This package can be as relaxed or as explosive as you want, but we prefer it in explosive mode. Torque is instantly available, and as the torque band shoves you in the seat, the powerband starts to take over, catapulting you to the horizon like few cars in this class can. Sure, it's docile enough in traffic, but this engine and transmission combo begs to be driven hard, and it will do so without complaint all day long.

The AWD BMW M8's gas mileage figures read exactly as you'd expect from a heavy grand tourer fitted with a twin-turbo V8 engine: not great. The M8 will manage 15/22/17 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycle. Equipped With a 20.1-gallon fuel tank, the M8 will manage a maximum range of 342 miles.

The poor gas mileage of the M8 means that it's liable for a gas guzzler tax of $1,000.
