The BMW Gran Coupe Concept design is 4-door coupes with a distinctive sporty character. Its body design authentically captures a sense of superior dynamic performance and high-quality elegance. The concept shows the classic features of all BMW coupes: the long wheelbase, the vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, the set-back greenhouse, the flat silhouette, the coupe-style roof line and the short front overhang reflect the dynamic potential of the vehicle.
The BMW Gran Coupe Concept unveiled first time at Auto China 2010 in Beijing. The sporty, flat silhouette provides an impressive body height of just under 1.40 metres. The roof line tapers off gently into the rear, thereby elongating the vehicle’s proportions. The forward-tilted shark nose visually extends the bonnet and creates characteristic BMW proportions with its forward-pointing dynamism. This stretched character is also highlighted by the side lines, where there is a deliberate avoidance of the typical sill line. At the rear, only design elements such as the lights and tailpipe trim appear to be visible at first sight.
The third brake light, positioned in the rear window, is also fitted with LED technology. The powerfully flared wheel arches above the rear axle highlight the particularly sporty character of the BMW Gran Coupe Concept. The effect of this 4-door vehicle derives not just from specific highlights but from its overall appearance, which authentically reflects its character. The car’s dynamic potential is embodied in its proportions and lines, signalling power but also elegance and forward thrust.
