BMW shows new sports flagship prototype in Shanghai! - [briefly] 08:41 PM EDT - Apr,19 2007 - (2 comments)
BMW's
took the wraps off its latest concept car, the CS Concept. It's a style
prototype for a new, high-end sports flagship rumored to become the new
8-Series. It looks like a three-way between a BMW, a Maserati, and an Aston Martin. Yeah, it's pretty hot!
It sits on the newest 7-series platform under
development, extending the length and width of the current 7 by a couple of
inches, while dropping the roofl by a good five inches. it measures in at 200.8
inches long, 78 inches wide, and just 53.5-inches high. Even with the extra
acreage, the CS is a four-seater only, with two sculpted seats in back.
Mercedes-Benz started this sport sedan/4-door coupe craze with its CLS, but this
will be a larger, and likely more expensive, vehicle along the lines of the
upcoming Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide. This Concept CS also shows us
where the next iteration of BMW design is headed. Although his previous designs
have been met with mixed reactions, designer Chris Bangle continues to use
"flame surfacing" for complex curves that wouldn't have been possible with old
manufacturing techniques. The CS feels like an evolution of that philosophy with
sharper edges and swoopier surfaces all around. Underhood we'll find a 6.0-liter
V12, which is essentially the M5 5.0-liter V10 with two extra cylinders. That's
a nice modular motor for BMW if that ends up being the case, with 10-cylinder,
12-cylinder, and V8 versions used across the Motorsport models. |
