Take a look at the new BMW M hybrid V8, which is set to have an exciting makeover

The BMW M hybrid V8 is an impressive car, but things are about to get even more interesting as the machine is about to be overhauled in a big way.

The car is set to have a new, smaller front grille and even better aerodynamics, with the most noticeable change happening to the front end of the car.

“An adjusted splitter optimizes airflow, while the BMW kidney grille will be slightly smaller but will retain its unique BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting,” the marque said in a press release.

The car will also be the lucky recipient of new headlights to really make the design shine.

Plus, the changes to the car mean that the M Hybrid V8 will perform ‘more consistently across all track layouts,’ and the ‘revised airflow around the car improves cooling efficiency’.

But that’s not all the exciting news from the German manufacturer.

It was also revealed that the new car will make its first appearance in public after the FIA WEC ‘Lone Star Le Mans’ race in Austin.

Plus, the first race will take place at the end of January 2026 and will be the 24 Hours of Daytona..

“We are confident that the changes to the BMW M Hybrid V8 will allow us to compete more consistently at the front on all types of tracks,” BMW M Motorsport head Andreas Roos stated.
