宝马8系概念车近日亮相美国原石滩车展，而且量产版车型则将于明年发布。8系概念车的车身侧面的前后部分采用多项大胆设计。外观突出运动特性，车顶大幅倾斜，车尾采用行李箱盖扰流器，前后保险杠增加硕大散热孔。车身采用抢眼的巴塞罗那液体灰车身涂装。车厢内同样洋溢着运动和豪华主题，包括深色或白色真皮座椅，碳纤维座椅壳体，搭配多项铝制或碳纤维装饰件。 iDrive 控制杆表面采用施华洛世奇玻璃，进一步突出了豪华感。宝马设计主管AdrianvanHooydonk表示，8系车将是一款“非常突出运动特性的车型”。不过，他没有透露该车动力系统。与其他竞争车型不同的是，8系车提供后排座椅。8系量产版预计将于明年投产并上市。目前宝马正在测试动力更强劲的M8，而该车将在8系标准版之后发布。
BMW 8 Series Concept Makes North American Debut At Pebble Beach
If you’re still searching for the perfect word to describe BMW’s 8 Series concept, "stunning" might be a good one. Together with the equally lovely Z4 concept, the 8 Series concept is making its debut in the U.S. for the first time at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and we were lucky enough to catch the coupe in person.
Leading up to the production version’s debut sometime in 2018, the BMW 8 Series concept introduces a number of new dramatic design cues, both inside and out. The exterior features a sporty, sloping roofline, an integrated trunk spoiler, and massive air vents on both bumpers. The body is finished in an eye-catching Barcelona Grey Liquid paint that shows out its true colors in the right light.
In the cabin, a similar sporty and luxurious theme can be noted. The leather seats – finished in either Dark Born or the Fjord White pictured here – are wrapped in a carbon fiber shell and pair with a number of aluminum and carbon fiber accents throughout. Swarovski glass on the iDrive controller further enhances the premium feel. Adrian van Hooydonk, Design Director at BMW Group, promises that the 8 Series "will be a very sporty car" when introduced, though, he neglected to let us know what kind of engine might power the luxury coupe. Unlike rivals from Aston Martin and Lexus, the 8 Series will also come with a back seat… albeit a cramped one.
The new BMW 8 Series is expected to make its production debut early in 2018 before going on sale later in the year. A more powerful M8, which we seen testing on the Nurburgring, will follow shortly thereafter.
