A month after introducing its “most powerful sedan ever,” the 2019 BMW M5 Competition, BMW has officially unveiled plans for the new 2019 8 Series Coupe.

The new 8 Series Coupe boasts 523 horsepower, all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, and other eye-catching features. Notably, the car is capable of going from 0 to 60 in an impressive 3.6 seconds, and reportedly is capable of maxing out at 155 miles per hour. Other noteworthy features: Merino leather in the interior, customizable ambient lighting, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, LED headlights with BMW LaserLight technology, and more. Its unveiling is intended to accompany the 2018 24 hours of Le Mans race, which is scheduled to go down this weekend.

You can take a look at the 2019 BMW 8 Series Coupe above. Pricing details have yet to surface, but the vehicle will hit the market this fall.

Last month, BMW also revealed its strategy for a wireless electric car charging station.
