This is one quick drop-top BMW.

The BMW M8 Competition’s twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8 motor produces 617 horsepower (460kilowatts) as well as 553 pound-feet (553 Newton-meters). BMW claims that the M8 Convertible Competition can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.2 seconds. With the optional Driver’s Pack, the top speed is 190 mph (305 kph).

The M8 Convertible Competition cruises down the Autobahn at speeds of up to triple-digits several times. The M8 Competition hits its maximum speed on an unrestricted road. It reaches 192 mph (310 km/h) before the driver releases the accelerator. The M8 Competition was still able to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) on a damp road and covered a quarter mile of asphalt in 11.10 seconds. In 18.31 seconds, the M8 sped past 155 mph (225 kph).

The BMW M8 Convertible Competition’s folding roof doesn’t hinder its performance. It provides plenty of power and speed, making it an ideal choice for average drivers. It sounds great with the burbling exhaust system. It is clear that the video says “Do not attempt!” The unlimited Autobahn is only available to those who are able to drive it. We must keep our high-speed driving on the race track for the rest of us.
