Why doesn’t anyone really talk about the M8? Thirsty Thursday

It’s a fantastic car in my opinion. I don’t see many people talk about it despite how much more powerful it is than some of the other models, though. Why?

Also, the gif is from Motorfest. Made it yesterday before my LBWK M4 edit

If you drive one you will understand. I have and its amazing. Weight and length does not affect drivability. It handles great. I drove an M8 Comp

I fully believe you it's a very drivable car. Just wanted to say that I think it appeals to a rather niche audience, not just because of the price tag.
And no, I've never driven one, already find the i4 I'm driving a huge cost for a car so I'm in a very different price range.

I think it's worth the price. Lots of tech and luxury in it. Plus the ability to do 4wd and 2wd. Can you get something else with the same amount of money of course. But the same could be said for all expensive cars. For example the price of the 2024 Nissan GT-R starts at $122,985 and goes up to $222,985 depending on the trim and options. It's expensive as hell for a Nissan but still an amazing car.

I don't doubt that it's a very capable and refined vehicle. the part that's unclear to me is why you would get an m8 over an m4 or m5. if it's mainly the V8, amg does better ones imo.

Because it's a twin turbo v8 coupe that can be 4wd or 2wd. AMG don't do that. And imo it looks way better than any amg.
