The only advantage I see in the super boat is the long, which can enable higher final speed and it is very important in Le Mans.
So the 8-series mules that have already been running and photographed, and the shared 5,6,7,8 front engine platform is for what exactly?? There's less than zero chance of it being anything other than their new super-tourer M8. TT V8 seemed to be the leading candidate for the M8 with a new V12 possible for a boulevard cruiser version. Not sure where that leaves the 6 with it selling slightly better than the cancelled Z4.
