宝马此次在日内瓦车展发布的最重要车型莫过于ConceptM8GranCoupe概念车，但最近谍照记者拍到了8系量产版照片。据内部人士透露，新车高度保留了概念车的造型设计，特别是两车的格栅将非常接近。量产版的尾部也与概念车有很多相似之处，但尾灯组略有不同，更接近X4。车厢内将配备尺寸非常大的显示屏。从照片上似乎可以印证这些说法。照片上的8系同样采用细窄前大灯和棱角分明的格栅，这些都取自概念版。宝马为该车提供了非常普通的底部前脸，而不像概念车那样配备了硕大进气口。而在车尾，细窄的尾灯组的确很像X4。不过，量产版和概念版的相似之处不多，宝马对概念车过于棱角分明的尾部设计进行了低调处理，形成了更平常的外观。车厢内不太容易看到硕大显示屏，但可见数字仪表群。或许这并非最终版本，或者宝马针对不同的8系车有不同的内装布局。无论是标准版8系还是M8高性能版都将在今年亮相。但宝马并未透露具体发布时间，目前也不清楚动力系统细节，但该车很可能搭载4.4升V8双涡轮引擎和6.0升V12双涡轮增压引擎。

 

BMW Hid Production-Ready 8 Series Behind Closed Doors In Geneva

BMW's big, public debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show was the Concept M8 Gran Coupe, but a few lucky folks reportedly got to see the 8 Series in production-ready guise there, too.

 

This insider reports that the front is very similar to the concept, particularly the grille. The rear is also reportedly a lot like the concept but with slightly different taillights that take cues from the X4. Inside, this person claims that there's a screen that's "very big for a BMW," according to BMW Blog. This person's opinions are intriguing because they offer a chance to compare this description with leaked images of the 8 Series. For example, the picture below purportedly catches the production version of the vehicle, and it backs up the notion that the narrow headlights and angular grille comes from the concept. BMW fits a more conventional lower fascia, though, that does away with the show car's huge intakes in the corners. Around back, another leaked image backs up what this insider claims, too, because the narrow taillights have a similar shape as the X4. The similarities with the concept are harder to see, though, because BMW tones down the angular styling to give the rear a more conventional appearance.

 

Inside, it's a bit harder to see what this insider means by the screens being large for a BMW. The digital displays look great, but the leaked image below doesn't suggest that they are especially big. Perhaps, the styling here isn't final, or BMW has a different layout under development for some models of the 8 Series.

 

Both the standard 8 Series and high-performance M8 will debut in 2018. BMW won't disclose when or where, though. The entire powertrain range isn't yet clear either, but the company's 4.4-liter biturbo V8 is likely among the choices. The 6.0-liter biturbo V12 might be available, too.
