2013 BMW 6-Series 4-door GranCoupe with M-Sport Package spied on Nürburgring
Spy photos show a 6-Series 4-door coupe model that will compete against the likes of the Audi A7 Sportback
We've previously reported on the details of this upcoming 4-door coupe from BMW, which will compete head-on with the Audi A7 Sportback and the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
But we'll give you the recap:
Although BMW is usually the first to arrive at the party, this time they're fashionably late. Following the Mercedes CLS, Audi A7 and yes, even the Porsche Panamera, prototypes of the 6-Series four-door have finally crossed the spy photographer's lens.
First introduced as the Concept Gran Coupe in Beijing last year, then confirmed for production, and seen in recent leaked patent illustrations, the 4-door Coupe was spotted on the streets of Munich today. Already showing minimal camouflage, indicating the latter stages of development, the wheelbase looks much longer than the two-door 6 Series Coupe while the sleek profile gives way to L-shaped LED tail lights and the ever present Hofmeister kink.
The Gran Coupe will be based on the 6-Series and will share the same wheelbase length as that model but will be longer than the Mercedes CLS-Class. It will come with frameless door-windows but will have a B-pillar.
Under the hood we expect a 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS) 3.0-liter six-cylinder, a 400 hp (298 kW / 406 PS) 4.4-liter V8, a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel with 204 hp (152 kW / 207 PS), a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel with 245 hp (183 kW, 248 PS), a hybridized 3.0-liter petrol with a 54 hp (40 kW / 55 PS) electric motor, and a twin-turbo V8 with 555 hp (408 kW / 563 PS) to 570 hp (425 kW / 578 PS).
The 2013 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe will make it to dealer showrooms sometime in late 2012.
