Seriously, you can take the "badass" part of the title above literally. I mean, just look at the posterior of this BMW - it looks like the M8 Shooting Brake should land in showrooms as soon as possible, despite this being just a rendering.
Of course, we're dealing with the irony of the Internet here. On one hand, when BMW came up with the original 8 Series, this wasn't deemed athletic enough for the Motorsport division, so while an M8 prototype was built, this never made it to production.
On the other hand, the second coming of the 8er sees BMW's love of niches being manifested in a way that leads to a three-member M8 family, which comprises of the Coupe, the Gran Coupe and the Convertible. And yet the world wide web still wants an extra model, which is how we ended up with this S/B.
Truth be told, the 8 Series Coupe, be it an M8 or not, could use some extra space in the back, even though the matter revolves more around the legroom than the headroom, so the Shooting Brake take might not help.
Then again, the rendering sitting before us also makes use of other visual tricks that can be considered trends nowadays.
For instance, the Bimmer seems to come with fat arches, which might just means it qualifies for the widebody label. And let's not overlook its uber-limited ground clearance - it looks like this ride height comes via air suspension, which would only be normal, since we're looking at a grand tourer after all, be it a tuner car or not.
And while we're talking M&Ms, keep in mind that a new Motorsport toy is on the horizon. I'm talking about the new BMW M3, whose posterior has leaked onto the web less than 24 hours ago, showing a sculpted approach.
