Concept BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept

[SCOTT27]

BMW aren't launching anything next week. They are presenting a concept car. Big difference.

There is a big difference, the media are going into this launch event , some already attended BMWs media only on embargo presentation of the Gran Lusso in Munich. Fully aware that BMW have described how they will use this concept to pre-visualise their luxury portfolio. ie the next 7er and sub-sequent models .

What is the nature of this "launch" and when is it?

Over 100 days , the i3 is revolutionary in itself and also you have the energy , sustainability and responsibility aspects involved with the manufacturing of the i3.

Wowow, completely missed this because of the S class. Looks very sexy so far. Too bad it will be a mere concept.

I am so exited about this, the absolute number 1 design legend with BMW to produce a Big Coupe, will this eclipse the CS ?

It has the potential to do so, yes!

I have not seen it yet because I want to be surprised, when I go to Lake Como.
Those that have seen say it embodies the avantgarde individuality of the CS Concept.

Will the V12 have the Wraigth level of power? I hope it does!! Should be epic.

2 door > 4 door. And this 2 door appears to be an updated version of the CS, but in coupe form. And with V12, it's an instant CL fighter, would it ever be produced.

544bhp 745nm

Call me the new scott

 

[klier]

^ 630 hp you must mean

^I cant make up things for you ( i guess im not the new Scott) :

Power comes from a front-mounted V12 engine, most likely the twin-turbo 6.0-litre unit found in current iterations of the 7-series. This unit is rated at 544bhp and 550lb ft, which would give the coupé suitably rapid and smooth performance.

I know they have that engine in three different states of tune , standard V12 , a half-way house between standard and the Wraith and of course the engine in the Wraith which at that power level will remain exclusive to the Wraith.
From what I know public reaction will be monitored in regards to this concept.
If and its a big IF . Then it would probably be identified as the 8er to provide consistency.

The models they are looking at are potentially for the 8er are to mirror the 6er in Coupe , Cabrio and Gran Coupe.
Along with an X7 SAV , and stranger things have happened , potentially there could be an X8.

Why did BMW need pininfarina to design this car?

LOL I don't see what's funny Klier. It was a genuine question. BMW has a world class design time. Why go to Pininfarina?

Its a collaboration. Iits all about interpreting values with a different perspective.

For that little touch of Italian flair the Germans will never reach
I just thought it was funny. It's not like they need them, but they like working with them. They work with the Italians every now and then on a concept....

Thanks buddy. It should be an interesting collaboration!

In the italian german collaboration, the M1 is the epitome, Gugiaro design - Bmw soul

It may been a small photo, but that rear-end doesn't look all that exciting or promising. The thin Lincoln-like lights, and the massive rear window. But hey, it's just a design project.
