The M8 is one of BMW's worst kept secrets and now this recipe also applies to the Convertible incarnation of the machine - you are now looking at the first spyshots of the open-air Grand Tourer.
The headlights sit atop massive air intakes and you can expect the final design of the front apron to be extremely aggressive.
The heavy camo covering the car manage to conceal plenty of roof styling cues and yet we're not expecting anything revolutionary as far as this cloth matter goes.
The firepower should come from a reworked version of the M Division's current 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. We'll meet the engine soon, since it is scheduled to make its debut on the new M5.
The mill, which will pack at least 600 ponies, will be mated to an eight-speed automatic, while sending its power to all four wheels. However, thanks to the automaker's new M xDrive all-paw hardware, the M8 Convertible should get a RWD mode allowing dancing aficionados to do their tire-shredding thing.
As revealed back in May, the engine will deliver a spicy soundtrack and we can't wait to see how the voice of the car feels with the top down.
Underneath the skin, we'll find a modular platform mixing aluminum, high-strength steel and magnesium. As such, the M8 Convertible should lose up to 100 kg compared to the M6 Convertible. The diet will bring benefits on both the handling and the coziness fronts, so the move is more than welcome.
