BMW M760Li xDrive
The new 760Li xDrive is the very first M
Performance 7-Series. Besides; with 600 PS from its turbo’d V12, it should be
fast enough for most.
Under that long bonnet lies a massive
6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 putting out 600 PS at 5,500rpm and peak
torque of 800 Nm at 1,500 rpm on the road through a faster, M-tuned
8-speed automatic and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system modified to have a
rear bias.
BMW quotes a 0-100 km/h time of
3.9 seconds, besting the current M5 by 0.4 seconds, while top speed is
electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Still, the M760Li xDrive isn’t actually
the fastest and most powerful 7-Series you can buy from a BMW dealership, as
that title goes to the Alpina B7 xDrive introduced earlier this week and which
has a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 delivering 608 PS and 800 Nm for a
0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.
The M760Li xDrive gets BMW’s Executive
Drive Pro adaptive suspension system along with 19-inch M Sport brakes with
blue metallic brake calipers, and exclusive to this model 20-inch alloy wheels
in matte Cerium Grey metallic.
On the outside, the M Performance
division gave a discreet makeover with reprofiled bumpers, side skirts and a
pair of dual exhausts at the back, while inside, it carries a three-spoke
sports steering wheel with shift paddles, sport front seats, a 330 km/h speedometer, aluminum pedals, and different trimmings such as the BMW
Individual decorative inlays in Piano Finish Black.
The M760Li xDrive will debut at the
Geneva Motor Show next month with sales to follow.
