The
2013 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe may have debuted
a full three months ago (time flies, huh?), but we're just now seeing it in person for the first time here at the
2012 Geneva Motor Show. The prolonged debut almost makes sense for BMW's big coupe, since it's a late entry in a segment that already includes stunners like the
Mercedes-Benz CLS,
Audi A7,
Porsche Panamera and even the
Aston Martin Rapide (if you're really reaching).
But that doesn't make the 6 Series Gran Coupe any less interesting - or stunning. We still don't 100 percent love the 6er's new front fascia, but there's no question that the sloping roofline and squat hind quarters are anything less than sleek and shapely. Oh, and get a load of that interior. The two-tone leather surfaces and two-passenger rear compartment look absolutely stunning.
BMW will launch the 640i Gran Coupe in the United States first, powered by the automaker's widely popular N55 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, good for 315 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque and mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The eight-cylinder 650i and xDrive models will follow suit in short order, as well.
Cost of entry:
$76,895 for the 640i. Get your wallets ready, and see a full brace of live images direct from Geneva in our attached high-res gallery.
