That's incredibly fast. C&D points out that the 710-hp Ferrari 488 Pista is slower to 60, although it strides past the BMW as the speeds climb. That amazing initial acceleration from the M8 Competition is down to a sophisticated AWD system, coupled to a launch control system that gets it right off the line. That's where its massive brakes come in, as Car and Driver reported that any acceleration brought speeds climbing rapidly. The brakes are more than up to the task, though, pulling 1.3g of stopping force at their strongest.
To complete the experience, the car is reported to feel considerably smaller than it is, meaning it can be enjoyed on the track just as much as a much lighter car. That's due to a very clever suspension that underpins the car and plays a role in its amazing acceleration. Of course, that acceleration would be the defining feature of that drive.
