4 6 liter v8

Hear the 4.0-liter V8 screaming at high speed. In September last year, BMW revealed officially the M8 GTE , the car the brand is going to race in the GTE Pro division of FIA’s World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The Bavarians are currently working hard at preparing the race car for the 86th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which will take place on 16 and 17 June 2018, at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France. This new video shows an M8 GTE undergoing testing during a three-day session at the Monza circuit in Italy. Update: ⠀ BMW Gives Us A Closer Look At The Stunning M8 Gran Coupe Concept ⠀ Watch And Listen While The BMW M8 Tackles The Nurburgring Interestingly, the race car has been developed simultaneously with the road-going 8 Series .

Both are performance coupes, but there are some major differences between one another. After pitting the original NSX against a new Civic Type R a month ago, the British folks over at Carwow have taken the latest and greatest NSX to duel Mercedes-AMG’s Beast of the Green Hell, the GT R. While they’re both performance cars in coupe shape, that’s pretty much where the similarities end as there are some huge differences worth noting. For starters, the very green AMG is rear-wheel drive whereas the NSX has an all-paw arrangement allowing it to better channel power to the wheels in a drag race. Then there’s the powertrain, a conventional biturbo 4.0-liter V8 in the GT R compared to an intricate biturbo 3.5-liter V6 working together with three electric motors. Affalterbach’s weapon has 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) on tap while the hybrid Acura/Honda supercar offers a lower combined output of 573 hp and 476 lb-ft (645 Nm).

Why wait for the Black Series when you can have this instead? The culmination of the two-door AMG GT range will mark the return of the fabled Black Series badge , but that won’t happen until 2020. If you consider life is too short and as such you’re not willing to wait until then, buy the R version and send it over to German tuner Domanig Autodesign as they’ll dial the sports car to unprecedented levels of power. Developed in collaboration with IMSA (the tuner, not the International Motor Sports Association), the GTR project started off with a set of larger turbochargers for the 4.0-liter V8. The engineers also fiddled with the exhaust system and created a sports air filter, while an extra radiator had to be installed as well.

This range-topping 63 S version certainly looks the part in the real world thanks to its aggressive styling. We first saw the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show early last month before checking out its aggressive metal once again a few weeks later in New York. Under the glitzy spotlight of a major auto show, nearly all cars look great, which is why we always prefer seeing a brand new model out in the real world to get a better look at its design. Update: 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Starts At $136,500 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door First Drive: Wunderbar The moment of truth has arrived for AMG’s new and confusingly named model, seen here in the 63 S flavor while roaming the streets of Germany. It does look substantially meaner than the CLS and the design has what it takes to fill in the void left after the CLS 63’s demise. In general, we’re not a big fan of all-black alloy wheels, but these don’t look half bad on Affalterbach’s … [Read more...] about 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Stands Out In Traffic

M850i not enough? You'll have to wait for this full-fat M model. Officially Revealed: 2020 BMW M8 Debuts In Coupe, Cabrio, And Competition Trim BMW aficionados know their favorite brand built an M8 prototype nearly 30 years ago, which never evolved to become a production model. As a matter of fact, the car was kept secret for many years before being unveiled to the public. Now, the Bavarians are putting the finishing touches on an M8 deep-pocketed people will actually be able to buy. Even better, the coupe will be joined sooner or later by a convertible and eventually by a four-door version to serve as a successor for the M6 Gran Coupe. Seen here is the two-door flavor with the fixed roof while being pushed hard at the Nürburgring where it’s currently undergoing final testing. Set to be positioned atop the M850i, the crown jewel of the reborn 8 Series family will use an amped-up version of the biturbo 4.4-liter V8 expected to produce more than 600 … [Read more...] about Watch The BMW M8 While Being Pushed Hard At The Nurburgring
