In-game description[]

This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:

Jaws dropped when BMW unveiled its 8-Series coupe to the world - a car that combined traditional BMW styling cues within a state of the art design. The shape itself is characterised by the smooth rounded contours of the stretched bonnet, fluid transition between surfaces and high waistline rising towards the compact rear end. There's no doubting the 8-Series is a seductive shape and that's just in 840Ci guise. Add BMW's Sport pack to the equation and the look is further enhanced by a deep front air dam, rear apron diffuser and "M" style exterior door mirrors. The engine is as impressive as the car's looks. A lightweight aluminium 4.4 litre, 32 valve eight cylinder thrums underneath the bonnet, giving the BMW extraordinary levels of torque and power. It delivers the same 286 BHP power as its four litre predecessor, but more significant is the five per cent increase in torque which is up to 310 lb/ft at 3,900 rpm, a full 600 rpm lower down the rev range. This enables the 840Ci to get from 0-62 mph in a brisk 7.1 seconds and on to an electronically governed 155 mph. Mated to the smooth engine is a five speed automatic gearbox which features BMW's Intelligent Adaptive Gearbox System (AGS). AGS reads the road, learns its drivers requirements and adapts its behaviour to suit. For even greater flexibility, the gearbox is equipped with BMW's Steptronic Control with which the driver can trigger up changes by moving the gear lever forward and down changes by pulling it backwards. Standard features include automatic Stability and Traction Control (ASC+T) which guarantees safe handling by preventing the driven wheels spinning on ice or snow, while the suspension employs electronically adjustable dampers which allow the driver to switch between sports or comfort handling.
