World premiere of the new BMW 8 Series
The new generation of BMW's 8 Series made its world premiere in the town of Le Mans on June 15, the night before the start of the 2018 Le Mans 24 Hours, local time in France, and it will also go on sale worldwide in November this year. The new car will serve as BMW's future flagship sports car, competing with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe, on which BMW will also build the 8 Series Convertible, the 8 Series Gran Coupe and the BMW M8, the M Family flagship that BMW fans have been waiting for almost 30 years.
