…
Joining you this week are Mandy Turner, Paul Maric, and James Wong.
In car news, the Tesla Model X has joined the Victorian Highway Patrol fleet, the Toyota C-HR Hybrid will be coming to Australia later in the year, and the Skoda Mountiaq concept and 2019 BMW M8 Competition have both been unveiled.
The BMW 8 Series has already been revealed, but the high-performance M8 remains under (partial) wraps at this stage.
So far we know it'll feature a twin-turbo V8, and a rear-biased M xDrive all-wheel drive system, but as far as the final design touches and model-specific equipment it gets over the 'standard' 8 Series? We're none the wiser.
The upcoming BMW 8 Series range is set to feature an M850i M Performance variant, according to a new report.
BMW Blog claims the Bavarian manufacturer wants to bridge the gap between the entry-level 840i and the flagship M8 with a focused M Performance model.
While not confirmed, the M850i is expected to get a version of BMW's 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, developing around 500hp (373kW) with drive sent to all four wheels.
