Presenting the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe! OK, we present a rendering of
what we think the M-badged Gran Coupe will look like. Up to this point, only
camo’d versions of the M6 GC have been seen, but BMW recently confirmed the
model for U.S. sales in 2013 and so we thought we’d provide an early peek at the
car.
As you might expect, the M6 Gran Coupe will get M-specific wheels, aggressive
fascias with bigger intakes up front, and M5/M6 hardware underneath. That means
a 560-hp twin-turbocharged V-8, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and
rear-wheel drive. A carbon-fiber roof panel, like those on the M3 and M6 coupes,
is a possibility for the M6 Gran Coupe—and it’s depicted in our illustration—but
we’ll have to wait and see whether BMW decides to officially adopt the woven
lid.
Given its close relationship to the M5, it’s possible that the M6 GC
will have steering, ride, and braking shortcomings similar to those we noted
from the über-5er during its recent third-of-three comparison-test finish.
If our rendering is accurate, at least the M6 Gran Coupe will look fantastic.
