BMW M8 Competition vs 825bhp Ford Mustang review | Europe v USA showdown | Autocar

The BMW M8 Competition Coupe is Germany’s latest luxury sports car. Costing £125,000 in the UK and with 616bhp of power it’s a fast, four wheel drive four seater that can get from 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds.

But here it faces very silly competition, in the form of the Ford Mustang CS800, from UK tuner Sutton Bespoke. With a huge supercharger on its 5.0 V8 engine it makes as much as 825bhp and will get from 0-60mph in, we estimate, around 4.0 seconds and on to a top speed of around 180mph. It costs from £63,000 but here it costs £105,000 as tested, which puts it on a natural par with the BMW M8 Competition.

So which is better, faster, more desirable? Find out in our first drive review of the pair and stay tuned for a fun verdict from our testers Matt Prior and Mauro Calo.
