At the edge of Lake Como, the Bavarian reveal a cut
which is well appetite, designed with designer \
Pininfarina |
BMW can not empty the elegance of the Villa d'Este Concours hands. At the edge of Lake Como, the Bavarian reveal a cut which is well appetite. Curtain up!
BMW sales rose against all odds. But if the records that aligns the brand over the past decade mainly due to the smaller models, the Bavarians do not forget the "Gran Lusso" provided.
Proof of this study created in collaboration with Pininfarina, which does not betray his account name. For now, BMW not yet distills information about the size, but the beast seems blithely exceed 5 meters long and is based on a 21-inch wheels. Apart acronym V12, nothing indicates precisely the technology that lies beneath the couture dress. But we can assume that the downsizing will not have its place in this huge vessel, and mechanical displays at least 544 hp delivered by the 6-liter from the current 7 Series.

Gran Lusso Coupe revives the traditional proportions
of BMW, marked by their long bonnet and wheelbase
as well as door-to-overhangs |
Aesthetically, the Gran Lusso Coupe revives the traditional proportions of BMW, marked by their long bonnet and wheelbase as well as door-to-overhangs. The famous Hofmeister-Knick - the characteristic curve of the rear side windows - is also present. For the fans of the "shark mouth" that the designers of the brand have a little forgotten in the Chris Bangle era, they should be happy. Everything breathes great clarity and goes frills. A classic power even if appendices of modernity are present. Projectors are thus composed of diodes, as the taillights futuristic design that seem to inspire the i8. However, the fall of kidney evokes another successful Carozzeria Pininfarina, namely the Peugeot 406 Coupe. The interior is also in this "zen attitude", using leather and wood Kauri New Zealand, older than ... 48,000 years.

The dashboard appears to be very close to a
production model, which so far remains hypothetical |
Hopefully it will not wait too long to see this study into production model. For now, BMW officials are careful to comment. But Gran Lusso could translate into 7 Series Coupe to be called Series 8, according to the logic in effect at the German manufacturer. What compete seriously Bentley Continental GT and other future Mercedes S-Class Coupe or Audi A9, also to a customer as easy as uninhibited.
