BMW M8 Prototyp

Debut 1990
Location
Description In the early 1990’s, engineers at BMW Motorsport GmbH (now BMW M GmbH), were deeply involved in the development of an ultra-high performance variant of the BMW flagship of the era, the renowned BMW 8 Series. Powered by an F1-derived 6.1 litre, 24-valve V12 engine with close to 600 horsepower, the M8 Prototype was designed to be a dragon-slayer supercar on the GT racing circuit. Alas, for economic reasons, the fascinating project was shelved, never going into production. Revealed to the media a decade or so later, however, the original M8 Prototype has become a legend amongst BMW enthusiasts.
