The 8 Series is back! But does it look like a mustang or is it just me?

As title states - I see mustang!



https://jalopnik.com/this-530-hp-bmw...ser-1825549250

Quote:
In a press release, BMW has confirmed that the M850i xDrive Coupe will have a “completely redeveloped V8 engine,” so no V12 on the record yet, rated to make the aforementioned 530 horsepower and, perhaps more impressively, 554 lb-ft of torque from 1,800 RPM. That will be paired with an 8-speed automatic.

The car’s Head of Suspension Application, Jos Van As, is quoted in the same release saying the new 8 will be capable of “exceptionally high cornering speeds prior to the intervention of the electronics. So those who wish can drive on the racing track with active DSC, too.”
I suppose it's likely to replace the 2-door 6 series, and make the 6 series a 4-door only model.

another gran touring car. LC500 isnt doing that well, and neither are the 650 coupes, CLS, etc.

Not sure why they would make a low volume GT car when the market is already soft.

If the new z4 can be a Supra, why can’t the new 850i be a Mustang GT

I loved the old 8 series because it looked like nothing else that BMW had at the time. This looks like any other current BMW coupe, just bigger...

I opened this thread with a bunch of others, and forgot the title when I got to it and saw the picture. I definitely thought it was a Mustang until I saw the front end.

I can't unsee it. So the new 8 series GT looks like the Mustang GT, the new MB A-Class looks like a Volvo crossbred with an Infiniti, a Sonata, and some S3 genes in there. The new Camry is way more wild than the Lexus ES.

It's interesting to see the more economy manufactures design more out of the box designs, and the luxury mfgs taking design cues from the aforementioned.

Anyway, the Camry design is interesting. I like the black colored camry better, I actually haven't seen that many Camrys in other colors. I'd imagine white to be pretty gross. Still better than the Civic Hatch turbo

They copied many of the design cues from the Maxima, so it's not really something different.

In this case it was obvious. But I guess I should reply to him in "What Did You Do To Your Car Today"

I still see mustang.. but it also looks like they took an M4 and stretched it. Reported to have 530hp, powered by a twin-turbo V8. 0-60 in 3.7 secs (seems slow/average for today's standards). Comes standard with a 8-speed slushbox and xdrive. Do they even make rwd only BMWs anymore?

With how high tech we are now, I can't tell if it's a rendering or not. But these are the only pics that are out. If I had the money, I'd buy an i8, looks the same from the back and gas is expensive LOL

Let's see here...
Back end looks like a Camaro and side and quarter views look like a warmed-over Mustang..

Yup, BMW has done it again! Managed to repackage something we already have, and charge 20k+

Seems legit to me
