The 8 coupe has a really long boot - the same as the 8GC, suggesting they’ve been forced to push the rear seats forward due to the sleek roofline. Definitely a case of form over function as it makes the rear seats almost unusable.

The 8GC has excellent rear legroom, but it’s about 25cm longer (and 3cm wider) than the coupe, losing some of the style of the coupe.
