Have you ever considered which 90s BMWs are the coolest in your book? Most BMW enthusiasts might answer by saying the M3 E36 was the coolest Bimmer of the late 20th century, but there s a good chance that some will think of the 8 Series. And as the M8 that BMW envisioned at the time never made it to production, the 850CSi was the best one you could have. 41 photos
For almost a decade, BMW sold around 30,000 units of the BMW 8 series, and five different engines were offered during that time, ranging from a 4.0-liter V8 to a 5.6-liter V12. That means any 90s BMW 8 Series you might be looking at is going to have between 282 horsepower and 375 horsepower.
The new GTD Pro class will include race cars built to FIA GT3 technical regulations.
GTD Pro offers the opportunity for factory teams and driver lineups to compete in the class, while customer teams, Pro-Am or Am-Am lineups have the option of competing in either GTD PRO or the standard GTD class.
GTD Pro will replace the GTLM class, a class that has dwindled to just six cars for the 2021 Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The writing was on the wall for the GT Le Mans class at the beginning of this year with Ford pulling the GT out of racing in 2019, and Porsche announcing that it wouldn’t be back with its two car team in 2021.
