I have the feeling that the M8 will be a mid-engine supercar. I think the GTE will have a great evolution in the coming years and beyond of the BOP is more easy to be competitive with a mid-engine supercar than a luxury super boat.
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.

Those 8 series spy photos could be the next 6 series. It doesn't seem like the journalists even know which one it is.

The 6 series is being downsized and turned into an AMG-GT competitor.

Be interesting to see how they BoP balance a boat with a prototype in GT guise (Ford GT). Well they already do it in IMSA, so it's not anything new.
But since this will be a full-factory effort, I wonder how they will play the politics game.

It's worth pointing out that at least in terms of wheelbase that the last generation 6 series is smaller than the current 3/4 series.

The current (and most of their previous) liveries in IMSA(/WEC) don't exactly set the world on fire, not a fan myself either.

The question is:
The M8 will be a mid-engine super car? or a luxury super boat?
