Doubtful. Has been suggested that the 8/9 Series will use an all Aluminium/Carbon version of CLAR that will first debut with the Phantom Replacement, Project Cullinan, and eventually the Ghost Family replacement. 8/9 Series will be focused on Luxury so ///M component as seen fitted are out of place for that. These two cars were used as other test mules not too long ago, so refitting of major chassis structure components doesn't fit the time line either.
This is a powertrain/systems mule for on site cold weather testing. Since the G30 is going to a 48v electrical system, and it's F90 M5 Derivative is claimed to have some serious tech advancements, a Gxx 7 affords more space to hide equipment while keeping it in a place it can be accessed for physical analysis or changes, and hold more recording instrumentation.
