India, Nov. 9 -- Before I dish out the accolades, I have to get something out of the way first. Actually, it's a bit more than one thing - it's more like two crore and fifteen lakh things. Rupees to be exact! Because that's how much an M8 will run you. Now, I can't afford one, so I'm not going to make a value judgement. What I can tell you is that it costs more than a Porsche 911.

Oh, and there are some more numbers of significance - 4.4-litres, 8-cylinders, twin-turbos, 600 horses, 750Nm, and 0 to 100km/h in an astounding 3.3 seconds, to point out a few. Luxury has never been quite this rapid! Now, if you want a track tool, get an M2 Competition...
