The Asian tuner showed off the BMW M8 Gran Coupe, a different M product a little over a week after Zacoe modified the BMW M3 and M4. Despite the aggressive looks of the largest sedan, the M8 Gran Coupe will also get the carbon fibre treatment courtesy of a custom body kit.
The BMW M8 Gran Coupe will have a more aggressive look. It starts with its front bumper with a more prominent spoiler with massive endplates. Enormous air intakes of the standard M8 Gran Coupe will remain. In addition, the L-shaped vent trim has even more carbon fibre. The extended side skirts is making the body more imposing and broader in terms of profile.
Naturally, the most striking changes are on the back of the car. It is similar to what you’d find on a track-focused M car like an M4 GTS. Zacoe added a carbon fibre wing to the trunk lid of the BMW M8 Gran Coupe. It’s a bit much for a sedan, according to some. Besides, a stripped-down coupe rather than a luxed-up sedan would be more appropriate.
A beefier carbon fibre diffuser is another modification to the rear of the car. Moreover, three vertical fins and a quad exhaust system surrounds the diffuser that extends from the body. As standard in the full-fat M8 model, all of these extras complement the lightweight roof.
The twin-turbo 4.4-litre engine has not been upgraded as Zacoe focuses entirely on body kits. It propels the Porsche Panamera rival to 60 mph in three seconds flat. Its engine produces a potent 617 horsepower in the Competition variant. Yet, it is unknown whether BMW will give a sharper variant like the M5 CS to the M8 Gran Coupe. However, there is still a possibility of something special planned for the four-door M8 for the M division.
