Munich. The BMW Group is revealing another new
addition to the BMW 8 Series range as it presses ahead with its model
offensive in the luxury segment. Following the successful launch of
the BMW 8 Series Coupe and BMW 8 Series Convertible, the carmaker is
now offering the first glimpse of the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe.
This four-door sports car of consummate elegance, with an interior
epitomising modern luxury, is currently in the final phase of
development for series production. The BMW Group #NextGen event set to
be held at BMW Welt in Munich on 25 – 27 June 2019 will provide the
stage for the newcomer’s world premiere.
The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe fuses breathtaking performance
credentials with an emotion-stirring design and spacious rear
compartment. Its standalone character is brought to the fore most
prominently by a design as graceful as it is flamboyant. Athletic
proportions and dynamically flowing lines come together to create an
aura of sporting exclusivity. The two extra doors and impressive space
for rear passengers combine with the extended wheelbase and duly
enhanced ride comfort to make the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe an
outstanding operator both in everyday driving and over longer journeys.
Expanding its model portfolio in the luxury segment is one of the key
fields of action the BMW Group has identified – as part of its NUMBER
ONE NEXT strategy – to ensure the company’s sustained growth. The
new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe’s broad range of abilities give it
everything it needs to stoke the appetite of new target groups for
BMW’s signature driving pleasure in a luxury model. The car’s world
premiere will be one of the highlights of the inaugural BMW Group
#NextGen event in Munich. The worldwide launch of the new BMW 8 Series
Gran Coupe will begin just a few months later, in September 2019.
*Due to the prototype vehicle status, technical details like fuel
consumption, CO2 emissions etc. will be communicated later this year.
