4.0-liter V-8 features a redline of 8200 rpm and delivers up to 640 horsepower. It’s mated to an IMSA-specified hybrid system, while a separator clutch between the two engines allows for electric-only driving at pit speeds.
Can I just have that hybrid V8 in the next gen M4? Thanks...

edit - imagine being able to tool around your neighborhood at 35 mph or less in electric mode so you don't piss your neighbors off...and then let 'er rip once you hit the highway. I'd even settle for just 25 mph + reverse electric only mode.

I doubt we'll see anything like it in the M4 though. M8 maybe, M5 maybe, M4 doubt.
