As for the small piece of camouflage on the trunk, it\u2019s likely there to conceal the model designation. The 7 Series facelift dropped the \u201ci\u201d from its gasoline models, and that should be the case here as well. Consequently, BMW will likely call it the M760 xDrive<\/a> since it\u2019ll be branded as an M Performance model. Unlike the not-for-Europe pre-facelift version, the updated model with a slightly different name is coming to the continent.<\/p>\n Although we\u2019re delighted M engineers have worked their magic to make the V8 comply with the EU\u2019s ever-stricter emissions regulations, one question remains: Will it have less power than the U.S. version? It\u2019s certainly possible. After all, the engine was detuned in Europe for the M5 ahead of Euro 7 taking effect later this year. Going forward, the super sedan and wagon have 41 fewer horsepower<\/a> from their V8s in Europe than in the United States. As a refresher, output drops from 577 to 536 hp. However, the total system output remains unchanged at 717 hp thanks to an upgraded electric motor.<\/p>\n BMW hasn\u2019t said a word about the V8\u2019s output in the 7 Series, only confirming that the hottest ICE version will feature a \u201cconventional V8 engine.\u201d That automatically rules out a heavy and complex plug-in hybrid setup like the one found in the M5, though we wouldn\u2019t necessarily rule out a mild-hybrid system. The 48-volt technology was already standard when the 760i<\/a> debuted in the G70 generation.<\/p>\n In North America, the new M760 (name not yet confirmed) is highly unlikely to be less powerful than the 760i it replaces. As a refresher, the old model produced 536 hp from its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter \u201cS68\u201d V8. Given that the new M760e<\/a> delivers 603 hp from its inline-six and electric motor, it wouldn\u2019t be unreasonable to expect a similar output from the V8-powered model.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t hold your breath for a full-fat M7 because we have it on good authority that it\u2019s not happening. However, there will still be another flavor of the V8-powered 7 Series. The new BMW ALPINA sub-brand will launch its own version next year as the more luxurious \u201cG72.\u201d<\/a> A third V8-powered 7er will also be offered as the armored Protection model.<\/p>\n![\"2027](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2027-BMW-M760-1-830x830.jpg\" "\\"2027")
