After nearly 20 years, the all-new BMW 8 Series will debut tomorrow night

The new generation BMW 8 Series will make its global debut in the small town of Le Mans, France at 19:00 on June 15th, European time (1:00 a.m. on June 16th, Beijing time). The new car is positioned as BMW's flagship sports car and will compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe in the future.

BMW first launched the 8 Series (E31) in 1987 and officially stopped production of the series in 1999. Now, after nearly 20 years, the new generation of the 8 Series will be officially unveiled. The new car is built on the CLAR architecture and adopts a standard large GT sports car style design. At the same time, the new design language will also subvert the previous family style. The integrated double kidney grille is more aggressive, and the headlights will also use the latest laser angel eye style. In the rear design, the light strip LED taillights will have a more dynamic visual effect.

In terms of interior, judging from the previously exposed spy photos, the new generation 8 Series will also use a brand-new interior design concept, including a full LCD instrument panel, a new generation of IDrive system, and a more complex interior center console style.

In terms of power, the new 8 Series is equipped with a V8 engine, with a maximum power and peak torque of 530 horsepower and 750 Nm respectively. The transmission system is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission, and is equipped with an xDrive four-wheel drive system, four-wheel steering, and a focused optimized rear differential and suspension system. An active rollover suppression system is also available. We will bring you more detailed information at the press conference.
