2018 BMW 8 Series teased

This is a silhouette of the soon-to-be-launched 8 Series. We haven’t heard of the name plate since 1999 (never ever in India for that matter) but BMW has confirmed the launch in 2018 before it is showcased at this year’s Villa d’Este Concours.

The teaser image shows only the side profile of the luxury GT and we can clearly see that the pop-up headlights have been given a miss. The front overhang is massive while the roofline is very coupe-like.  The window line is low as well and also incorporates BMW’s signature Hofmeister kink and there is also an integrated bootlip spoiler.

evo UK also suggests that BMW has already applied for a number of trademarks for the numbers 825, 830, 835, 850, 845 and 860. But the most exciting ones are M850 and obviously, the M8.

When launched, the 8 Series will go up against the Mercedes-AMG S Class coupe.
