It seems BMW has a lot of surprises this year, Beijing Auto show saw the Debut of a new four door concept, BMW calls it Concept Gran Coupe. Bavarian giant intends to blend the exclusivity of a Gran Turismo with the performance of a sports car. The first look of the car says ‘wow’, It certainly showcases the design of BMW`s near future vehicles. The car looks extremely production ready and we may see it on roads within 2-3 years.

The concept is a fusion of classic features of all BMW coupes: the long wheelbase, the vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, the flat silhouette, the coupe-style roof line and the short front overhang and is clearly set to give hard times to Porsche Panamera, the next Mercedes-Benz CLS and the upcoming Audi A7, possibly with the 6-Series badge on the boot.

The body extends almost 5 metres in length with low centre of gravity and outstanding aerodynamic efficiency. The sporty, flat figure gives an impressive body height of just under 1.40 metres, which makes the BMW Concept Gran Coupé almost 10 centimetres lower than the BMW 5 Series or the BMW 7 Series Saloons.
