This is a nice car.

I saw one of these driving on the freeway the other day. I hadn't seen one before, so I thought I'd look it up.

Seems like a nice car 🙂

I think the one I saw was a bit older than the one in the picture, but basically the same.

here are the specs.

I shoulda raced him... looks like my car would beat him in the 1/4 🙂

oh ya... the very short lived 8-series

The specs you linked to are for the CSi, which is the ///M division version of the 850. Most 850's produce 299 or 326 hp based on the year produced.

The 8-series was never an acceleration car, it's a GT cruiser. If you tried to race him to a top speed, you'd never win.

Why wasn't the car made longer than it was?

Maybe cause the list price was almost $100k.
