Video: 6 series Grand Coupe (concept)





As a testament to its success in starting the four-door coupe movement, the Mercedes-Benz CLS is nigh on its second version, yet competitors have only recently begun to crowd the room. With the Audi A7 about to gain membership in the club, BMW couldn't hang back, so it has reportedly slapped a sales date on the 6 Series Gran Coupe concept: it'll be here in 2012.

Rumored for the summer of 2012 by German publication Automobilwoche, that puts its introduction a year behind the next-generation 6 Series. Engines are said to be a mix of gas and diesel, and BMW evidently spoke of a potential hybrid application. Perhaps most importantly, design cues such as the frameless doors and LED lighting will be carried into production. Those trick exhaust tips, however, not likely.


Thanks to Ali@home for the headsup

Is that a 6 series??
I read somewhere, it's a brand new series that will compete against MB's CLS.
But correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, looks promising..

the CLS is a tough competitor, one of my favorite mercs on the road. BMW has the right idea, this should be good

Although there was a spectacular study in the International Trade Fair Beijing Motor Show in late April a series of professional journalists exclusively ever been shown , but the general public had that yet live to Gesichtbekommen . A revelation for the general public "was therefore on the evening of 22 July 2010 in the auditorium of the BMW world instead .
Anders Warming , head of BMW design, exteriors , presented on this occasion in front of the vehicle and its history. He outlined at the premiere of the vehicle in Munich, a small house and evolutionary history of innovation. A total of twelve days, ie until 3 August 2010, the BMW Concept Coupé Gran is in the BMW world exhibited at the Plaza.
