2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo - interior Exterior and Drive

WORLD PREMIERE: 2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo

Though our claims weren’t believed by many, it’s now official. The BMW 6 Series will gain a Gran Turismo body style, to currently be sold alongside the Gran Coupe. Eventually, only the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo will continue the famous nameplate, as whatever is left of the F12/F13 6 Series soon dies off. This will seem like bad news to many BMW fans, as the current-gen 6 Series is one of the brand’s most beautiful and loved cars. So replacing it with a body style that is loathed by most of the Bavarian faithful is disappointing. However, if given a chance, it’s possible that the new 6 Series GT could have some charms of its own.
This new BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo is based off of the same scalable architecture that underpins the BMW 5 Series, 7 Series and upcoming 8 Series. This means that it uses lightweight materials as much as possible and will feature all new technology that the current car simply cannot have. However, while it shares some feature of those new cars, its styling and design are entirely its own.

PACKAGES
The optional Luxury Package features chrome kidney grille bars and front and rear bumper trim finishers on the exterior, and a SensaTec upholstered dashboard and power rear seat back adjustment on the interior. Accents in high-gloss black and 19-inch V-Spoke light-alloy wheels are also part of the package.
and diffusor-style rear apron, featuring black fins for the Air Breathers, a special design for the side skirts and rear apron. Other exterior design elements include Shadowline exterior trim and 19-inch M Double-Spoke Wheels with All-season Run Flat Tires or Mixed Performance Run Flat Tires. 20-inch M Double-Spoke Wheels with Mixed Performance Run Flat Tires are available as an upgrade option.
