Veidi infot vähetuntud BMW M8 kohta.
http://www.e31.net/navmodelle_e.html
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.
Kahjuks enam ei leidnud ühte allikat, aga superauto McLaren´i mootoriga versioonil arvati olema potentsiaali Ca 1000hj ja seda u.10000p/min juures!!!
