BMW ///M8 E31 Prototype With 550BHP
Originally envisioned as a Ferrari competitor, only a single prototype BMW M8 was ever produced, equipped with a special 550 bhp (410 kW; 558 PS) version of the S70 engine, essentially a bored out version of the M70 with experimental multi-valve cylinder heads. A common misconception is that this engine powered the McLaren F1. However, when this was suggested to McLaren's designer Gordon Murray, the idea was rejected because the engine was too heavy and long for the McLaren F1

  • @TheHondarider94 yeah you probably seen just a 850i, ci, or an 840ci. but you probably never even seen a csi. but this one in the video is the only one of its kind that was made

  • @TheHondarider94 cuz you have to be the biggest fool ever! this is the prototype, build only one time! what you have seen was propably something like a tuned 850 csi but NEVER a m8
