BMW 6-series GT (spy shot)
As can be seen, the new GT will cut a sleeker roof line, which
terminates with a bootlid that is also now lower than on the current 5 Series
GT.
The new model will indirectly
replace the 6 Series Gran Coupe due to slow sales. Though unconfirmed, this
could also indicate a move to higher pricing and positioning than the 5 GT. Par
for the course is BMW’s CLAR (Cluster Architecture) platform, which underpins
the G30 5 Series, G11/12 7 Series, as well as the upcoming G20 3 Series.
As with the 5 Series Touring development units
spotted testing, the new 6 Series GT is expected to mirror the new G30 5 Series
for its powertrain line-up, with four- and six-cylinder petrol engines paired
to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A plug-in hybrid variant of the 6 GT
is also expected to debut further down the line.
