Further details on the BMW flagship
|
It seems that the unbelievable is about to come true, and this quite fast: even though the idea of a BMW CS vehicle seemed just a dream last year when it was first showed off at the Shanghai Auto Show, a production version is very much close to reality these days. After what Gran Turismo claimed, the new car will be a premium four-door coupe and combine the elements of both a high-performance sports car and a classic grand tourer. The car will be put into production line under the close supervision of the 55-years old former BMW engineer- Gerhard Richter. In an interview for Automotive News, Richter said that his most important task will be now to decide which of the Concept CS design features will be carried over to the final version. The only certain thing is that the vehicle will be longer and wider than the current 7-series flagship.
The predictions made by BMW say that the annual sales will be around 15,000 units and the price will probably reach to 150,000$. Customers will be put face to face with a V8 or V12 powertrain and with the latest BMW technology including an eight-speed automatic and possibly the new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission in a better version. However, by the time this model will hit the market, it will have quite a competition: we should not forget the new Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide, Audi A7 and the Mercedes-Benz CLS class.
