BMW 8 Series Recover (BMW 8系列敗部復活?)

↑look...............Very very good

The Mercedes CLS four door coupe is currently fighting a solo battle with no competition - but now is the time for Daimler to be looking over their shoulders. Preparation is well under way by their German competitors with the Audi A7, Volkswagen Passat Coupe, Porsche Panamera and now we bring you an artists interpretation of the BMW four door coupe which will probably be badged as the 8 series.

The All New BMW 8 series styling will be based on the CS concept with the platform to come from the 7 series or even possibly the 6 series.
The original 8 series was produced between 1989 and 1999 and was powered by a V8 and a V12 engine. We expect this trend to continue with the new model set to use the 438hp 6.0-liter V-12 engine from the 760i and 4.8-liter V8 from the 750i.

Following the trend of spacious coupes with more than the traditional two doors, we expect BMW to release an all-new super luxury car to cap its line. The new range-topping four-door coupe will target Mercedes-Benz’s CLS and Porsche’s Panamera, both also four-door coupes. The car will most likely come as a 2009 model year, and shares exterior similarities with the CS Concept revealed at Shanghai earlier this year.

BMW is expected to bring the new car in as the 8-series, although the new car shares very little in common with the long-gone 8-series that roamed the globe from 1990-1999. One of the few similarities that is likely will be the V12 powerplant under the hood - although the original 8-series’ six-speed manual will likely be replaced with a dual-clutch gearbox. The new CS-based 8-series is also expected to be targeted even further up-market than the original.

As the photos show, the lines of the car give a sense of purpose and speed, and also work to minimize the rather large stature of the car. The styling certainly aligns well with rumored M-variants or possibly even a Z-badge for the car, although BMW has yet to stick the sports-car reserved Z-badge on anything larger than the Z8, which is comparatively diminutive. Huge intakes and aggressive sheetmetal certainly indicate the car will be intended for performance as much as luxury, no matter what moniker the car receives.

Mercedes CLS 逍遙自在的好日子不多了，它的德國同袍AUDI已緊鑼密鼓地推動A7，VW Passat Coupe (個人認為Passat Coupe 畢竟品牌形象對於CLS層級的客戶其說服力較弱，會影響到的對手應該是BMW 335/AUDI A5之流;它們同樣具備吸引多金年輕客戶上門的魅力，但....."實用性"此時應會成為決定關鍵) 會成為車主甚至保時捷Panamera也來勢洶洶，現在又多了一位攪和者: BMW！
BMW自從上海車展首次展出CS Concept後，外界就一直揣測它到底會是BMW哪一車款的雛型，現在看起來"8系列"機會是越來越高。新一代八系列的車身架構應該會源自下一代新大七，或六系列，變速箱不太可能再去使用6速手排，取而代之的是全新手自排雙離合器變速箱，引擎會有V12缸可供選擇。而這次BMW所瞄準的客戶是比七系列層級更高一級的消費群，售價高達400萬以上(國內稅金加上去不就破800萬?) 。


↓個人認為新8系列如果重出江湖，最有可能的雛型其實是BMW CS Concept






↓堪稱是BMW心中永遠的痛，舊BMW 8系列~當年8系列集結所有BMW最新科技問世打算挑戰Porsche 928，可是層出不窮的電子系統毛病及稱不上頂尖的性能讓它黯然退場，事實它真正的後繼車款已經上市~不過銘牌改掛"六"系列~~看的出來BMW高層對"8"的感覺可不像華人世界一樣呦！市場的失敗並未摧殘它充滿原創的流線線條，反觀將近20高齡的老8還是老當益壯，至今仍有為數不少的車迷對它留戀不已~~
