Amanye amahlebezi kuleli sonto ukufika kwemodeli entsha ophikweni lwe-M. Kulokhu, sikhuluma ngemoto eyi-BMW M8 (elindelwe ngabomvu), ezokwakhiwa ukugubha iminyaka engu-100 kwasungulwa uhlobo lwaseJalimane - uma ikhishwa ngo-2016.
La mahemuhemu ayisewona amasha, abalalelisisa bazokhumbula ukuthi la mahemuhemu sawabika ngoNovemba wonyaka odlule, nokho-ke, kubonakala sengathi sekunezinye izindaba ngale ndaba.
UFriedrich Nitschke, inhloko yophiko lwe-M, uveze eminye imininingwane yale phrojekthi entsha nenesifiso sokuvelela. Ngaphezu kwalokho okwakwaziwa kakade, kuyaziwa ukuthi i-M8 izohlanganyela nekusasa i8 hybrid (ehlelelwe u-2014) zonke izingxenye ze-aluminium ne-carbon fiber, noma kunjalo, izinjini zizohluka ngokuphelele. I-i8 izofika ifakwe i-1.5 litre 3-cylinder block kanye ne-motor kagesi efakwe e-asili yangaphambili, okuzonikeza imoto amandla ahlangene angu-350 hp. Ngokulandelayo, i-M8 kulindeleke ukuthi ifike nenjini eyi-V8 eyi-twin-turbo elungele ukuletha amandla angu-600 hp. Izinombolo ezisivumela ukuthi sikwazi ukubona umjaho ukusuka ku-0-100 km/h endaweni yemizuzwana emi-3.
Le M8 izophinde ibelula kakhulu kunezimbangi zayo zeV8 (Ferrari 458 kanye ne-Audi R8). Kodwa kuze kufike u-2016, kusasele kithi ukuthi siqhubeke nokulahla ithemba ngezindaba eziningi ngalo mlandeli we-M1…
