Re: New BMW 8 Series (2018)
I assume the M8 engine puts out more than 625 hp, probably the "usual" 670-680 hp again.

Re: New BMW 8 Series (2018)
the M8 looks very strong. Just disappointing how it sounds. My 850 sounds so much better. Odd why BMW does that. Must be a good reason for it.....

All cars are getting quieter in Germany but I heard that some US cars (with the exception of those for California?) are louder because of the lack of a particulate filter? I don't have a clue if this is true, just passing on what I heard.
Porsche already made public that they are going to reduce outside exhaust sound, so did AMG Mercedes. Others will follow. Test-drove a Maserati Levante Trofeo (the one with that V8 Ferrari engine) recently, what a disappointment. Nice sound at idle, basically no(!) sound outside with open windows and only a little bit of sound in the inside, probably through some sorts of sound resonator, whatever. Who wants this crap?!
