Shimshimhada ofcourse you know. This is intended for the newcomers and people who are not as well informed as the hardcore enthusiasts. But, thanks for your attendance.

Hula-Hula · 01-25-2006, 09:36 AM

what kind of engine and spec was it on the M8 prototype? Thanx for answers!

Thomas · 01-26-2006, 08:10 AM

The engine in the BMW M8 is a 6.0 V12 with +/- 550 hp..

That engine the S70 is also used in the 850 CSi (detuned version) and in the McLaren F1.

There was also a prototype of a 750is with that S70 engine from the 850 CSi.

Funny fact:
The 850 CSi is mentioned in the car papers as BMW Motorsport M8, because it's build by BMW Motorsport and not by BMW AG.

Thomas · 01-26-2006, 08:13 AM

"The BMW 850CSi is a detuned version of the M8 which has never been produced and remained a prototype only. The M8 should have been built in a consequently lightweight manner in order to be a 'Ferrari-Killer'. The specially developed 550 hp engine has never been used except in the prototype - of which only one exists. But with the support of McLaren the M8 engine was transformed into the power plant of the McLaren F1 super sports car. At the time of development of the M8 there was virtually no market for such a car, so the BMW manager cancelled the project.

The M8-Prototype is perhaps the best-kept secret of BMW. Absolutely no one must see it or can get information, by order from the general manager himself. Questions from motorsport magazines remain unanswered as well. The car is locked away in the so-called Giftschrank, which could be translated as 'poison-storage'. According to BMW it is hidden behind lots of boxes anyway and will be destroyed in the near future as the 8 series doesn't exist any more and neither a successor.
The Prototype has never been road safe (even the headlights were missing as you can see in the picture) and was only loosely patched together, which is the reason why it is not presented in their museum. It's not even good for that ...says BMW.

Yes, the papers of an 850CSi say, it's an M8, but that's not of much use if you know what it could have been. What the S70 engine is capable of speaks for itself. See the world record run of the McLaren F1. The guys at McLaren say they could get 1000 hp at 9500 or 10000 rpm from the engine."

Hula-Hula · 01-26-2006, 09:20 AM

wow thanx alot, too bad they didnt produce it ey?

cbljkkj · 01-26-2006, 10:24 AM

If only BMW relaunched the 8 series. It would be a big hit in Asia just because of the number 8
