宝马近日发布了8系GranCoupe合成图，不过车厂并未提供该车任何细节，只是表示“Staytuned.MoretocomeinGenevanextweek”（保持关注，下周日内瓦车展带来更多），预示新车很有可能在日内瓦车展正式亮相。仔细看趣图，会发现后门的痕迹，这表明该车是一辆四门轿跑车而非标准的双门车型。与先前的8系概念车相比，这辆车的车厢更长。流线形的车顶线条很有吸引力，不过后排乘客的头部空间将很局促。最近有传言称，宝马将在日内瓦车展发布8系GrandCoupe，甚至是动力强劲的M8。不过，从合成图看，该车并没有看到M版车型通常都有的轮拱散热孔。在日内瓦车展亮相的8系GrandCoupe很可能是一款接近量产版的概念车。该车将搭载宝马的4.4升V8双涡轮引擎并搭配八速自动变速器和全驱系统。预计车辆百公里加速时间约为3秒，性能表现优异。新一代8系将将在今年亮相并将于年内上市，除了搭载4.4升V8双涡轮引擎，顶级款860i还将搭载V12引擎。未来还将有M8。

 

BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Teaser Reveals Very Sexy Silhouette

BMW has just released a new teaser showing off the profile of the incredibly sleek, 8 Series Gran Coupe. The company didn't provide any details other than the short message: "Stay tuned. More to come in Geneva next week."

 

Looking at the teaser photo closely, you can see the seam where the rear door closes, which indicates this is the Gran Coupe four-door rather and the standard two-door coupe. Compared to the previous 8 Series Concept ，the greenhouse is visually longer on this sedan. The flowing roof creates quite an attractive look but would seem to limit headroom for anyone sitting in the back. A recent rumor also indicated that BMW would debut the 8 Series Grand Coupe in Geneva, possibly even in the performance M8 variant. However, the new rendering doesn't have the fender vents that BMW usually includes on its M models.

 

The 8 Series Grand Coupe in Geneva will allegedly be a design study for previewing the possibility of a production version. Power will likely come from BMW's 4.4-liter biturbo V8 and an eight-speed automatic, which will likely feed the output to an all-wheel-drive system. The setup will potentially allow the sedan to reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in around three seconds, which will make this concept sedan quite a performer.

 

The new 8 Series coupe will debut in 2018 and be on sale before the end of the year. The 4.4-liter biturbo V8 would be in the lineup, and an 860i would likely have V12 power. There will eventually be an M8, too.
