BMW 8 Series Special Edition to debut at Pebble Beach

BMW is all set to unveil what it describes as a “Special limited-edition” car, based on the brand’s 8 Series, next month.

BMW M boss, Frank van Meel, confirmed during the Goodwood Festival of Speed that the 8 Series special edition would make its world premiere at Pebble Beach during the Monterey Car Week.

However, neither Frank van Meel nor BMW revealed any other details of the upcoming 8 Series special edition. Now, the BMW M8 Coupe has been discontinued in the USA; hence, it is speculated that the upcoming “special limited edition” model could use one of the standard 8 Series models. Considering Frank van Meel’s involvement, the upcoming special 8 Series might be based on the M850i.

The latest-generation BMW M850i is powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It produces 530 BHP and 750 Nm and is paired with an 8-speed Steptronic transmission, allowing a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.9 seconds.
