New BMW 6-Series GT

Here are the official photos of the all-new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo that have been uncovered ahead of a public debut possibly at 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show in early September. 

BMW’s new luxury hatchback has moved up the ladder of the corporate naming strategy, essentially replacing the weird-looking 5-Series Gran Turismo and to a lesser degree, the current 6-Series Gran Coupe with something that sits in-between.

There’s nothing weird about the new 6-Series GT, with BMW giving it a much sleeker and more handsome shape than the car it replaces – not that it was difficult to achieve in the first place given the 5-Series GT's looks.

The new addition in the BMW range is based on the CLAR modular platform which is shared with the regular 5- and 7-Series models. This means that there will be weight savings along with the company’s latest semi-autonomous tech.

The new BMW 6-Series GT will share most of its powertrains with the 5-Series and will be offered with both rear- and all-wheel drive. Stay tuned for more information as BMW will officially reveal the new 6-Series GT in the next few days, if not hours.
