WMD has unleashed a new lightweight sports coupe on the world: the CBX8 Coupe. Powered by a normally aspirated 3.2-liter flat-crank V8 with a 9700-rpm redline and capable of cranking out 400 horsepower, this evil twin of the CBX6 (from which it is derived) is a throwback to when sports cars didn’t have to make too many concessions to political correctness. After all, it wasn’t so long ago that F1 cars also had normally aspirated flat-crank V8s without any form of hybrid assistance at all…

The CBX6 Coupe (shown here in production-ready guise), on the other hand, remains unchanged.

Also, the CBX4 Cup one-make racer gains a more affordable variant, the three-cylinder CBX3 Cup, powered by a 1-liter, 120-horsepower triple, while the CBX4 is also unchanged.

In short, WMD is out to prove that sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best ones.
