BMW has unveiled the 8-Series Concept Gran Coupe at the Beijing Motor Show, which is aimed at the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
The car measures 1400mm high, and slots in-between the 5 and 7-Series sedans in BMW’s range, although it is rumoured that BMW will revive the 8-Series nameplate for the car. The Gran Coupe is targeted against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS, as well as the Porsche Panamera, and the upcoming Audi A7.
The front of the BMW Concept Gran Coupe features a “vaulted bonnet” that melds with the wide double-kidney grille, and rounded rhombus-shaped headlights give the car a sporty look. The split bumper with large air intakes with black mesh grille rounds off the front design.
At the rear, the Gran Coupe has a short and squared bumper, and a wide LED third brake light mounted above the glass that goes with the LED rear light clusters. Quad tailpipes in the rear bumper mark the end of the almost 5-metre long car.
The Concept Gran Coupe is BMW’s follow-up to the Concept CS that was unveiled in 2007, and intends the car to be showcase the look of future four-door coupe models. BMW is expected to show the Concept Gran Coupe at this year’s Paris Motor Show in October.
