  • BMW Gran Coupe Concept

         by Aman Chaudhry

    BMW did not want to stay behind when it came to four-door coupes, so they have brought in a brand new concept called the Gran Coupe. With competetiors already in the field BMW has decided to take the Gran Coupe concept up against Mercedes-Benz CLS, VW CC, Porsche Panamera and Maserati Quattroporte.

    BMW’s Gran Coupe concept has already made many heads turn towards itself at the ongoing Beijing International Auto Show.

    BMW claims that the concept has been specially designed to mix both the Gran Turismo and a high performance sports car. Another interesting fact about the design of the Gran Coupé is the striking resemblance it bears with the next-gen 6 series. The sporty powerful looking concept is almost 5 meters in length and about 1.4 meters tall, which makes it almost 100 mm lower than both the 5 and 7 series sedans. The flat silhouette on the long wheelbase, which is a typical of BMW sedans with the coupe style roof, is what we like the most.  Added to that are frameless doors with LED lighting all around and it’s difficult to take your eyes off this beauty.

    “It’s true that the Gran Coupe points to a specific model, a saloon with the presence and elegance of a 7-series but a more dynamic, sporty character: much more of a driver’s car,” says BMW design chief, Adrian van Hooydonk. “We’re convinced that we should make a car like this,” the designer added.

    Unfortunately no further details regarding the interiors or the engine have been revealed by BMW so far, although Autocar quoted that the production version of the Gran Coupe will appear in 2012 and the car will share the same platform with the 5-series and 7-series.
