The BMW Concept 8 Series coupe has been unveiled at the
Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este car show in Italy, providing a window
into the design of the revived 8 Series production model, scheduled to
launch in 2018. The original BMW 8 Series
was the brand's flagship luxury grand touring coupe from 1991 to 1997.
With its V8 or V12 engine, mated to the choice of a manual or automatic
transmission, the 8 Series quickly gained a reputation for style,
comfort and power. Although BMW has not released images or detailed information about
the 2018 8 Series, which will replace the current 6 Series lineup, the
Bavarian automaker says the concept vehicle "reveals much of what is to
come." The Concept 8 Series exhibits many traits of a traditional BMW coupe,
including a long hood, short rear deck and muscular flanks. High wheel
arches accentuate 21-inch spoked wheels, and at the low-slung front end,
narrow headlights point to the ubiquitous kidney-shaped grille. The
overall effect is one of serious power waiting to be unleashed. The interior of the Concept 8 Series displays the style, function and
comfort buyers expect in a vehicle at the high end of the sport-luxury
spectrum. The carbon-fiber seat shells, digital gauge cluster and
red-anodized paddle shifters attest to the coupe's sporting nature,
while touches such as Merino leather seating surfaces, a faceted ground
gearshift lever, and an iDrive controller made from Swarovski glass
deliver its luxury bona fides. BMW concludes that the Concept 8 Series is "a preview of a model
which BMW is set to introduce in a similar form in the coming year. The
BMW 8 Series Coupe will build on the company's successful tradition of
luxurious sports cars and adds another exciting model — a genuine dream
car — to its existing luxury-class lineup. The BMW 8 Series Coupe will
bring together razor-sharp dynamics and modern luxury, and set new
benchmarks in the luxury coupe segment." (edmunds)
