宝马近日在日内瓦车展发布了ConceptM8GranCoupe四门轿跑车，虽然这款车只是一辆概念车，但宝马证实，8系和M8GranCoupe量产版车型将于明年发布。这辆概念车采用向下倾斜车顶并与行李箱盖无缝连接。车头长长的引擎盖和向后倾斜风挡让该车具备了运动车的车身比例，而深切的前脸和硕大进气口看起来更像M8高性能版本。金色的双肾格栅进一步提升了其独特性，而蜂巢形行驶灯让人联想到M8GTE赛车，为了降低车重，散热器格栅内的竖条和车顶都采用碳纤维增强塑料材质。它的车窗边框也采用金色装饰，车尾的四排气尾管更具宝马M系列的范儿。行李箱盖还集成了造型霸气的扰流器，而后反光板切入后脸，尾灯组造型非常抢眼，与内凹的行李箱盖侧面结合在一起。虽然宝马并未透露该车技术细节，但表示，GranCoupe车型将于明年发布，这表明宝马将恢复8系车，首先亮相的是双门轿跑车，预计将于明年晚些时候发布。而8系Gran Coupe和M8 Gran Coupe将是明年最后发布的量产车型。

 

BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe Previews Stunningly Proportioned Sedan

The silhouette alone was alluring, but now that we’ve seen the full thing, well, the BMW Concept M8 Series Gran Coupe continues to stun. And it’s not just a concept: as we had heard previously, BMW confirms today that production 8 Series and M8 Gran Coupe models will arrive in 2019.

 

The concept is, as is in vogue, a four-door coupe, with a sloping roofline that merges seamlessly into the decklid. The long hood and swept-back windshield give sporty proportions, while the deep front fascia and large air intakes hint at the performance of the M8. The gold-colored kidney grille trim is supposed to hint at “exclusivity,” while the hexagonal-shaped running lights recall the M8 GTE racing car. The inlets are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to keep weight down.

 

So, too, is the roof panel made from CFRP, keeping the center of gravity – and overall weight – down in the M8 Gran Coupe. The “Salève Vert” green paint contrasts with various golf accents. And out back, look for generously shaped haunches and BMW M’s characteristic quad exhaust tips (finished in gold). The trunklid is shaped into an aggressive spoiler, while the rear reflectors cut into the fascia and the taillights are ultra-skinny units on a concave surface on the trunk.

 

This BMW M8 Gran Coupe show car follows up on the 8 Series coupe concept we’ve already seen both outside and in. Although BMW offers no mechanical details so far, the promise that the Gran Coupe models will arrive by next year signals that we’re getting pretty close to seeing a revival of the vaunted 8 Series badge. The two-door coupe should debut first, likely later this year.

 

The 8 Series Gran Coupe and M8 Gran Coupe are scheduled to be presented in final production form next year, following the two-door variants into global showrooms.
