最近谍照记者拍到了宝马6系或8系敞篷车照片，遗憾的是目前无法确定该车是6系车还是8系车。无论是哪一款车型，宝马这款敞篷车外观都与其硬顶版非常接近，在A柱往前的部分两款车完全一样，而它的敞篷车顶也很不一般。该车的车顶似乎比轿跑车更低，同时车尾设计有所变化。车尾的棱角更锐利，可以腾出更多空间让乘客享受敞篷行驶的乐趣。这款车的后部设计很有意思，车内有两个被遮盖的部分，看起来有点费解。或许是宝马团队有意掩盖什么复杂的设计。或许该车采用的不是织物软顶，而车厂希望取消折叠硬顶。最初这款车让人感觉像是8系车，但它又不像奔驰S级轿跑车那么大。因此该车是6系车的可能性更大一些，因为8系车要等到2018或2019年才会发布。该车还将衍生出M8并将搭载V12引擎，功率约为600马力。

Future BMW 6 or 8 Series spied as convertible for first time
BMW reportedly has both sportier incarnation for the next-gen 6 Series under development and a revised 8 Series grand tourer. These spy shots are the first look at the droptop version of one of those vehicles under development, but we unfortunately can’t be entirely sure about which one.

Regardless of this convertible BMW’s identity, the convertible version looks largely similar to its coupe counterpart. Ahead of the A-pillar, they’re identical. The droptop looks marvelous, though. It appears to have a slightly lower roofline than the coupe, and the designers make the necessary changes to the rear. Rather than flowing back to the trunk, the roadster features a sharper angle at the back, which creates a space for lowering the roof and enjoying open-air motoring.

There’s something intriguing at the vehicle’s rear, though. Two camouflaged sections inside the vehicle are a little perplexing. It’s possible BMW’s team might be trying to hide a more complicated design than what’s obvious in these photos. Maybe this isn’t really a fabric roof at all, and the company wants to conceal a folding hard top.

We initially believed this vehicle was the new 8 Series but slowly began to doubt that. The vehicle just didn’t look big enough to be a posh grand tourer like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.

The more likely option is that this is the new 6 Series because the revived 8 Series reportedly doesn’t arrive until 2018 or 2019. The big coupe would reportedly even spawn an M8 that could get a V12 engine with around 600 horsepower.
