Overview[]
The 2021 Apex KS0 Reverse (formerly known as the BKM T7 Convertible, BKM S8 Convertible) was a German sports car in Driving Empire and was added to the game on 21st May 2022. It was priced slightly lower than the Coupe variant, costing $129,996, placing it at the beginnings of supercar territory.
This vehicle was based off of the BMW M8 Convertible, introduced in mid 2019 alongside the coupe variant, known as the 2020 Apex KS0 Race in game. It is powered with the same engine as the coupe, which in and of itself is similar to the engine found in the BMW X5 M, known as the 2021 Apex SV4 in game. It produces 591 hp at 6,000 RPM and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque, with the engine power increasing to 617 hp with the Competition model. With an 8-speed automatic transmission, it can perform a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 3.2 seconds, while its top speed is limited to 155 mph (250 km/h), which can be increased to 190 mph (305 km/h) with the M Driver's package. The Convertible weighs 2,010 kg, over 100 kg more than the coupe, due to extra structural rigidity.
Performance[]
In-game, it was average on Drag and Cross Country, below-average on Highway and one of the fastest FOR ITS PRICE on Circuit. What made this easy to use is its above-average brakes, average acceleration, top speed and handling, although it held itself back a bit in Cross Country.
