BMW's will be ditching the
current 5-Series GT and possibly even the 6-Series Gran Coupe, in favor of
this, the all new 6-Series GT. Based on spy shots alone, it's safe to say that
this 6-Series GT will look a bit more dynamic than the 5-Series GT, which was
heavily criticized because of its appearance.
This particular model spotted by
our spy photographers in Sweden, is wearing the M Sport Package - though all we
can see is the more aggressive front bumper with the "larger than
usual" air intakes.
The car is wearing the same amount
of vinyl as the one we saw back in November, which means that other than the
headlights, front grille and overall shape of the car, we can't really see much
else.
As for what we can't see, the new 6-Series GT will
be using the CLAR modular platform, which means that semi-autonomous and
plug-in technologies should be present. Also, the engine range itself will
probably mirror that of the new 5-Series saloon, at least in part.
The biggest question mark however remains the
interior. When the 5-Series GT first came out, it was sort of a Unicorn in the
automotive industry seen as how it offered 7-Series-levels of legroom in the
back, with X5-levels of headroom. Whether or not that will still be the case
with this new model, but it will surely beat the 5-Series
sedan in this aspect.
Expect the 6-Series GT to show its face sometime
next year, possibly as early as the Geneva Motor Show in March.
