近日德媒披露了下一代宝马7系更多细节。由于新车结构中将采用更多碳纤维增强塑料，高强度钢材，铝镁材质，因此车重将比现行版降低170公斤。同时车身前后重量分配更均衡，重心也将进一步降低。新一代7系有G11标准版和G12长轴距版，这两款车均可提供包括Wi-Fi热点，无线充电和Bowers & Wilkins音响等高科技装备。此外还有激光前大灯，高级智能驻车辅助系统等配置。至于动力系统，包括取自劳斯莱斯古斯特和魅影的6.6升V12引擎，功率441千瓦/600马力。还有两款插电混动车，在纯电动模式下最长可行驶100公里。下一代7系将在明年法兰克福车展首次亮相。

 

Next-gen BMW 7-Series could lose up to 170 kg

German media is reporting the next generation BMW 7-Series will lose up to 170 kg (375 lbs).

 

According to Auto Zeitung, Bavaria's flagship model is going to shave off as much as 170 kg as a result of using carbon fiber reinforced plastic, high-strength steels, aluminum and magnesium in the car's construction. The same source mentions we should expect the 7-Series to have a more balanced weight distribution while the center of gravity will be lowered compared to today's model.

 

From previous reports we found both the standard wheelbase (G11) and long wheelbase (G12) 7-Series models will be offered with an extensive array of high-tech options including Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless charging and a Bowers & Wilkins sound system. Also on the menu are laser headlights and an Advanced Parking Assist Package, with the latter likely to be detailed in January at CES.

 

Set to receive an evolutionary design, the 2016 BMW 7-Series will be offered with a wide variety of engines, including a V12 6.6-liter from the Rolls-Royce Ghost & Wraith which is expected to deliver as much as 600 HP (441 kW). There should also be a couple of plug-in hybrids offering an electric range of up to 62 miles (100 km).

 

The next generation BMW 7-Series will likely premiere in September 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
