Same power as the M5 Competition ie. almost 700 peak crank hp. Where's the acceleration comparison that shows that it's quicker?

You wouldn't believe anything BMW says eg. here's the 0-200 km/h speedo acceleration from Motorsport Magazine and it's not 3.2 0-100

Ok so with 2 peeps in car M8 Comp 0-100 3.6 sec 0-200 12.1 sec whereas M5 Comp with just driver 0-100 3.2 0-200 10.4 sec. These figures are using car speedo so it's not exact. Let's wait until we see GPS figures or a side by side race shall we :)

M8 Comp. 0-200 in under 10 seconds.
It’s a game changing beast.
