BMW's Concept M8 Gran Coupe Shows Off a Strong and Sporty Design
Justin Lam — March 9, 2018 — Autos
The BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe was recently unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show and it seems to further contribute to the show's overall theme of high-concept sedans with coupe profiles. BMW is no stranger to remixing car combinations and the Concept M8 Gran Coupe is another perfect example of this. Presented as the four-door version of the upcoming BMW 8 Series, the vehicle takes design cues from the sportier Gran Turismos and combines them with the utility of a Coupe. While it is being presented as a concept car, BMW is showcasing the vehicle as a presentation of where the upcoming 8 series will go.
The BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe features a muscular profile, with a wideswept body to accommodate the extra pair of doors. Larger air intakes, flared fenders, broad shoulders and a carbon fiber roof, scream that sportiness of this vehicle and indicate the direction BMW seems to be taking in it 8 series designs. Internal specs have yet to be announced, but based on the body it would be safe to assume that this vehicle carries powerful performance.
