BMW ruled the roosts at Beijing Motor show by unveiling Gran Coupe concept. Designed to amalgamate the abilities of a GT and a sports car, Gran Coupe is a four-door, coupe-like salon with its length at five meters. The concept is rumored to enter into production as a new 8-series flagship.
With its roofline four inches lower than that of current 7-series saloon and rear quarters slightly more restricted, the BMW concept’s production version, as per insiders, to come in 2012 and to rival models like Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7.
However, there are no indications from BMW whether they will produce the vehicle or not. Also, the sleek Gran Coupe retains iconic touches like the double-kidney grille, shark nose, the Hofmeister kink at the rear windows and the sporty coupe like silhouette.
Further, Gran Coupe is to use the same ‘backbone’ platform that underpins the current 5-series, 7-series and 5 GT. Additionally, the car will present the same mix of six and eight cylinder petrol and diesel engines as those cars mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Car will also be slightly longer and wider to current 7-series.
