Hehe BMW should consider an M7 (and thus Audi with an RS8).

BMW right now seems to have made an M model of almost everything except the 7 . It would have made more sense to make an M version of the 7 before the X5 and X6.

At this rate, we will see a Lexus LS-F model before we see an M7.

An RS8 would be pretty insane. Just imagine. Seeing the RS6 has an amazing engine. The RS8 would have to have something more insane! It have to be tuned by Bugatti or something. *drools* I can already see the car costing like 250,000 euros.

For the same reason Germans take so long to have a V-8 hybrid LExus clearly stated they wanted to go a different route and have the 600h L be the Hybrid halo. 439hp is nothing to sneeze at and was on par with German V-12s before they went to forced induction.
