2012 BMW Gran Coupe Concept : The future of the four-door coupe
BMW has left plenty of time to let go of a four-door coupe and increased competition. During the Less attractive BMW 5 Series GT was, despite all predictions to the reality, was the elegant BMW CS budgetary constraints to the Munich victims. But who watches the 6 Series Coupe in Gran LED eyes, will forgive the BMW executives this error. Lang, brawny, broad and powerful it is - the four-door version of the 6 Series-BMW. Development Director Dr. Klaus Draeger gave the world premiere on the outskirts of Beijing Motor Show has been the go-ahead.
This time, it should therefore be no retreat. BMW has in the nearly three years a real competitor for Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte and the new CLS Mercedes, which is presented in the autumn, start. The BMW 6 Series Coupe Gran has room for four. With a height of up to 1.40 meters, it is much flatter than his nearest relatives 5 Series and 7 Series. "BMW stands for a sporty design with a long wheelbase, short overhangs and muscular forms," said BMW chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk. "All of this, our 6 Series Gran Coupe." Much is expected at the design does not happen again. Front and hood are from the constraints of the pedestrian protection that we find a touch higher and the tail are straight.
The prelude to the new 6-nuclear family makes the beginning of next year, the BMW 6 Series convertible. BMW pulls the end of 2011 after the much more sporty coupe with two doors. Consequently, should the four-door Coupé 6 Series Gran 2012/Anfang end of 2013 the light of day and go, especially in the U.S. and Asia to catch well-heeled customers, which is just four doors are more than just two.
Driven the 6 Series Coupe Gran is just like his brothers of two-door six-and eight-cylinder engines with outputs between 250 and 500 hp. All engines have direct injection and a turbocharger. In addition to a high-performance M version of BMW will offer all three body styles and with at least one powerful diesel engine. The modular design with the close technical relationship as the new BMW 5 Series also allows four-wheel versions.
