It\u2019s too expensive, its interior isn\u2019t anywhere near special enough for the money, and it lacks much driver excitement. However, there are a few things it does really well. It\u2019s great looking, it\u2019s shockingly comfortable, and it\u2019s brutally fast. And that\u2019s bone stock. What happens when you bump the power up from 617 horsepower to 800 horsepower? Check out this new video to find out.<\/p>\n<p>In this new video from AutoTopNL, you get to see a POV drive of an 800 horsepower BMW M8 and see its official performance metrics. All while on the Autobahn, trying to reach its max speed.<\/p>\n<p>Last I drove a BMW M8, full-throttle acceleration felt as close to teleportation as you\u2019ll get in an internal combustion car. It was violently fast and still is, even with its standard power. Bump things up to 800 horsepower and the ballgame changes. But how much does it change the car. Is it too much to handle, does it put its power down, and is it as fast as it sounds? Watch the video find out but it certainly passes the eye test. Cars and trucks pass the side windows of this tuned M8 like quick blurs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-428317\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe LCI Isle Of Men Green 3 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe LCI Isle Of Men Green 3 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-428317\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe LCI Isle Of Men Green 3 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M8-Competition-Gran-Coupe-LCI-Isle-Of-Men-Green-3.jpg 1650w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe LCI Isle Of Men Green 3 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While on the Autobahn, they were able to record an indicated 298 km\/h (185 mph), so it\u2019s seriously quick but I have no doubt that a 200 mph run is in it somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the power and performance, there are a number of visual upgrades as well, including that wild steering whee.
