最近谍照记者在美国拍到了正在测试的2015款宝马7系。与此前多次拍到的车型不同的是，这是一辆长轴距版本，车尾很可能带有“Li”字样。不过由于该车进行了重度伪装，因此无法看清车身细节，只能看出车尾的双排气尾管与后保险杠集成在一起。虽然这次谍照记者没能拍到内装照片，但该车在设计上深受Vision Future Luxury概念车影响，因此将配备更先进仪表群，后排将采用Touch Command Tablet娱乐系统。虽然宝马不愿透露新款7系规格和技术细节，但该车将采用铝制和碳纤维材质底盘，车重将比前款车型降低204公斤。新车动力系统选择预计将包括六缸、八缸和十二缸引擎，另外据传还将包括插电混动版和搭载2.0升四缸引擎的入门级车型。

 

2015 BMW 7-Series LWB spied in the United States

The 2015 / 2016 BMW 7-Series has been spied undergoing testing in the United States.

While we've already seen the model on numerous occasions, this particular prototype is a long-wheelbase variant that will likely adopt the familiar Li designation. Unfortunately, the car is heavily camouflaged so we can only make out minor details such as a dual exhaust system that is neatly integrated into the rear bumper.

 

Our spies were able to snap some pictures of the interior but the door panels were camouflaged and only reveal the existence of metallic door handles. That's not much to go on but the 7-Series could draw inspiration from the Vision Future Luxury concept and feature an advanced instrument cluster as well as a Touch Command Tablet for the rear seat entertainment system.

 

BMW has been coy on specifications but the model is slated to ride on an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis that could enable it weigh 450 lbs (204 kg) less than its predecessor.

 

Engine options remain a mystery but will likely include familiar six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder units. There have also been rumors about a plug-in hybrid variant and an entry-level model with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.
