<p><em>L: 4490mm W: 2020mm H: 1405mm Wheelbase: 2520mm</em></p>
<p>Recently, BYD changed the name of the F8 to S8, to indicate that it is part of BYD&#8217;s sports models lineup, like the other BYD &#8220;S&#8221; Series models. It’s reported that BYD will debut the S8 at the April Shanghai Auto Show, and launch it in the second quarter of this year. Like BYD&#8217;s future electric cars, we await the S8 with excited anticipation.</p>
