BMW may be building a 700hp M8 CSL

MUNICH: You want more power well, your wish just may come true.

According to Motor.es, a BMW M8 CSL could arrive in 2022. However, rumour has it that the car is in the early stages of development. But get this ... the M8 CSL could deliver up to 700hp from a combination of a six-cylinder 3.0 litre unit and electric motors.

Besides the beast under the hood, the M8 CSL could get a large spoiler, if you have been observing some of the spy photos earlier this year. The future GT could also weigh less, with carbon fiber elements inside and out, and a potential removal of the rear seat bench.

The rendering seen here from Motor.es aims to portray the future BMW M8 CSL with a carbon fibre treatment at the front, air vents on the front fenders and a massive racing wing in the back.

In 2019, BMW M president Markus Flasch had confirmed the possibility of future CS and CSL models. “We will see more limited editions, especially models like the CS and, I can imagine, the CSL,” he said.

Flasch said the M division would also continue to cater for different customer tastes through the sportier Competition spec and more versions of the CS – and potentially CSL – racetrack-oriented variants.

“CSL stands for lightweight, CSL stands for racetrack ability, and for the purest M character that you can achieve on a car that has still got license plates on it,” added Flasch.
