最近从巴西国家工业产权协会流出了一张宝马8系GranCoupe设计图。宝马在今年的日内瓦车展发布了M8GranCoupe概念车，展示了四门版车型的设计方向。而新的设计图曝光表明宝马有意推出该车的量产版车型。这款车的长度为191.2英寸（约合4856毫米），接近194.6英寸（约合4943毫米）的5系，但低于206.6英寸（约合5247毫米）的7系车。从车身尺寸看，该车很可能取代老旧的6系Gran Coupe。

BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Revealed In Design Registration

Design registrations from the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property are providing the first look at BMW's design for the road-going 8 Series Gran Coupe sedan.

 

BMW revealed the M8 Gran Coupe concept at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show as a preview of what a four-door version of the model might look like. The new design filing indicates the German brand is serious about putting a vehicle like this into production. At 191.2 inches long, the new 8 Series coupe is closer in size to the 194.6-inch-long 5 Series than the 206.6-inch-long 7 Series. This sizing suggests the 8 Series Gran Coupe would occupy a spot akin to the old 6 Series Gran Coupe.

 

The Gran Coupe would likely share engines with its two-door counterpart. At launch, the new model is available with a 4.4-liter biturbo V8 that makes 523 horsepower (390 kilowatts) and 553 pound-feet (750 Newton-meters). Europeans can also get a 3.0-liter biturbo inline-six with 315 hp (235 kW) and 502 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque. Spy shots confirm development of the M8 coupe is underway and likely has the more powerful version of the 4.4-liter biturbo V8 from the M5 with as much as 617 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque in Competition trim.

 

Pictures also confirm the 8 Series convertible's development, and this design filing shows off the final shape. The car appears to be in a basic spec with a simple lower fascia. The biggest design changes are at the rear where BMW's designers have to incorporate the folding roof rather than the gently sloping top on the coupe.

 

There's no word yet about when the Gran Coupe or Convertible might debut, but the immense number of spy photos suggest the droptop would arrive first.
