[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] BMW Korea announced on the 26th that it will begin pre-orders for the New M8 Gran Coupe Competition, the most powerful model in the BMW lineup.

The New M8 Gran Coupe Competition is equipped with a 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine delivering a maximum output of 625 horsepower and a peak torque of 76.5 kg.m, paired with an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. The top speed is 305 km/h (with the M Driver Package applied).

Additionally, BMW’s latest all-wheel-drive system, M xDrive, is applied. The M xDrive, an all-wheel-drive system based on rear-wheel drive, allows the driver to select between all-wheel drive, all-wheel drive sport, and a fully rear-wheel-drive mode. This enables enjoyment of everything from the stable and efficient driving characteristic of all-wheel drive to the dynamic driving of rear-wheel drive.

Along with this, the newly developed M model exclusive ‘M Mode’ and integrated braking system have been introduced. M Mode is a function that sets the intervention level of various driver assistance systems, offering three settings: ‘Road,’ ‘Sport,’ and ‘Track,’ the latter being exclusive to the Competition model for race circuit use.
