BMW has surprised everyone by unveiling the Concept Gran Coupe which the automaker calls a four door coupe at the ongoing Beijing Motor Show.
The concept looks almost production ready and is BMW’s asnwer to the competition from the next generation Mercedes Benz CLS, Porsche Panamera and the upcoming Audi A7. The car could sport a 8-Series monikor on the boot creating a whole new segment for the Bavarian automaker.
Loosely based on the aggressive 2007 Concept CS, the Gran Coupe is five meters long and has a lot body height of just 1400 mm making it upto 100 mm flatter when compared to the already low 5-Series and the 7-Series. The car sure has powerful presence with a sporty flat silhouette and striking dynamic proportions, something which BMW mentions in its press release.
Although we dont have any powertrain details, the 4.4 litre twin turbo V8 with 408 ps could find its way into that long bonnet along with the range toppping 6.0 litre V12 with 544 PS from the BMW 760Li but it may just turn out to be wishful thinking.
