When the facelifted 7 Series debuted earlier this year, it had a V8-sized hole in its engine lineup. BMW promised to fill it later in the model’s life cycle, and Munich is now delivering on that promise. Meet the new M760, an M Performance model that brings back the V8 with more power than the 760i it replaces.
There is a catch, though. The new model doesn't resurrect the V12 that made the previous-generation M760i so special. Instead, BMW sticks with a smaller twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8, giving its biggest sedan extra punch without reviving the mighty 12-cylinder engine that once sat at the top of the range. If you still want a dozen cylinders under the hood, you’ll have to step up to a Rolls-Royce Ghost.
