In a straight line probably. But 1800 Kgs / 3970lbs .. I think it's fair to say this is not a track-oriented car anymore. Looking at some design elements , I believe the ///M(arketing) division is turning their focus to rich kids.. |

Like solstice mentioned, weight is only one part of the story. This car looks more composed on the ring than the F8X ever did. |
You guys do realize the M8 which is 4500 lbs is significantly faster around the track than an F82 M4 and even beats the M4CS around the nurburgring?
The M8 is literally a few seconds off of the F82 M4 GTS LOL. 7:32 versus 7:27.
The new G8x is going to destroy all of these times, it's 500 lbs lighter than that M8 and BMW always puts it's biggest effort in terms of track times on the M3/M4.
