Enye yamahemuhemu eveki kukufika kwemodeli entsha kwicandelo le-M. Kule meko, sithetha nge-BMW M8 (elindelwe kakhulu), i-supercar eya kwakhiwa ukubhiyozela isikhumbuzo se-100 ye-brand yaseJamani - ukuba ikhutshwa ngo-2016.
Eli rherheba alisekho litsha, ngokuye ngakumbi ingqalelo iya kukhumbula ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba saxela le rurhe ngoNovemba wonyaka ophelileyo, nangona kunjalo, kubonakala ngathi ngoku kukho ezinye iindaba ngalo mbandela.
UFriedrich Nitschke, intloko yecandelo le-M, uveze ezinye iinkcukacha zale projekthi intsha namabhongo. Ukongeza kwinto eyayisele isaziwa, kwaziwa ukuba i-M8 iya kubelana kunye ne-i8 hybrid yexesha elizayo (ecwangciselwe i-2014) onke amacandelo e-aluminium kunye ne-carbon fiber, nangona kunjalo, iinjini ziya kuhluka ngokupheleleyo. I-i8 iya kuza ixhotywe nge-1.5 litre ye-3-cylinder block kunye nemoto yombane efakwe kwi-axle yangaphambili, eya kunika imoto amandla adibeneyo e-350 hp. Ngapha koko, i-M8 kulindeleke ukuba ize ne-twin-turbo V8 injini elungele ukuhambisa i-600 hp yamandla. Amanani asenza sikwazi ukubona umdyarho ukusuka ku-0 ukuya kwi-100 km/h kwindawo yemizuzwana emi-3.
Le M8 nayo iya kuba khaphukhaphu kakhulu kuneembangi zayo zeV8 (Ferrari 458 kunye ne-Audi R8). Kodwa de kufike u-2016, kushiyeke kuthi ukuba siqhubeke siphelelwa lithemba ngeendaba ezingakumbi ngalo mlandeli we-M1…
