宝马计划重新推出8系车，该车合成图近日曝光。今年初有消息称，宝马将于2020年底推出新一代8系车。而最近几周，有人拍到了重度伪装宝马轿跑车的原型车进行测试的照片。不过目前无法确定该车是即将推出的第四代6系还是8系车。而最近由国外设计师绘制的8系合成图让我们有机会看到新车未来可能的模样。新一代8系理所当然的在技术上基于7系车并与其共享CLAR平台。该车将搭载六缸、八缸或V12涡轮增压引擎，并搭配后轮或四轮驱动系统。这款大型车的长度约为5米，与标准轴距版7系车一样。因此车厢内可以非常宽敞的容纳四名乘客，只不过它向下倾斜的车顶线条会对头部空间构成些许的影响。8系不仅与7系共享平台，而且车头造型也与MSport版本类似。不过，更高的腰线，向下倾斜的车顶和富有雕刻感的轮拱使其外观更顺滑，更突出运动风格，也更时尚。

Could a new BMW 8 Series look like this?
It is nearly 20 years since the last BMW 8 Series rolled off the production line. And ever since, there has been continuous speculation about if and when BMW will launch a follow up.

Earlier this year, there were suggestions from sources within BMW that a new 8 Series could launch by the end of the decade. And in recent weeks, heavily disguised BMW coupe prototypes have been spotted testing. Though it isn’t clear whether they are the upcoming, fourth-generation 6 Series, or the may-or-may-not-happen 8 Series.

But let’s assume there is a new 8 Series on the way. What would such a car look like? This new rendering offers some ideas.

The new 8 Series would, of course, be based on the technical makeup of the 7 Series, starting with its part-composite CLAR platform. There would be a choice of six-, eight-, or 12-cylinder turbocharged engines under the hood, mated to rear- or possible four-wheel-drive.

It would be a big car, somewhere around the 197-inch (5 meters) length of a standard wheelbase 7 Series sedan. So there should be plenty of room for four passengers, even if the sloping roofline pinches rear headroom a little.

The styling is drawn from the current G11-generation 7 Series, with a front end near identical to the M Sport pack-equipped model. But the rising waistline, sloped roof, and punched-out fenders lend it a sleeker, sportier, more rakish look.
