Image for article titled BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Leaked Inside and Out

We’ve known the has been coming for a few months now, as BMW has been playing the OEM teaser game. The car is built and exists, but hasn’t yet been shown in full. Late last week an image of the 8GC made its way onto the internet. Car and Driver confirmed with BMW that the image is real and beautiful. We’ll see more of the 8 series Gran Coupe when it is officially unveiled on Tuesday, June 18.

According to an automotive reviewer in Singapore got their hands on an 8 Gran Coupe to review and released a slew of images. You can see a couple more shots of , and .

Inside the 8 Gran Coupe you have seating for five, despite rear seats sculpted to look like a pair of buckets, an attractive dashboard, optional twin sunroof panels, and a strangely attractive two-tone color palette.

I like most of the design here, but I still can’t get over BMW’s insistence on including gills behind the front wheel of everything it makes. And it could tone down the aggressiveness by a factor of two. Otherwise, it’s not bad.

The 8-series is currently available in a traditional two-door coupe. Only one model is on sale now, the M850i XDrive Coupe, with all-wheel drive, and a turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 engine, which starts at $111,900. BMW has traditionally priced Coupe and Gran Coupe models near identically, so expect a similarly equipped M850i XDrive Gran Coupe to be the same price, there or thereabouts.

The render above is not a new car coming to Grand Theft Auto Online in a future update, though I could very much see how you’d think that, given that it combines elements of at least five different machines into one. GTA cars tend to be absurd mashups of...

Blip: Sport Prinz Meet Sport Planz
It’s kind of odd that for a company as influential as NSU was, they have no real modern identity. They were pioneers of Wankel engines and once made little rear-engined Prinz cars that were quite popular, but when they got absorbed into VW in 1969, their identity kind of...

I’m Not Mad About This 60s-Themed DB9 Re-Skin
Should any cars be exempt from the work of coachbuilders? If there is a definitive list, I think I’d like to make to be added. Sure, tweaking the design of this sleek grand tourer can offer a nice option for millionaires looking to get their hands on something a...

Everyone Should Drive A Miata At Least Once
I don’t love long drives. I tell myself I do because I believe I should. After all, if you enjoy driving, shouldn’t you should have a high stamina for it? A four-hour trip — like the one I recently took to and from Detroit’s Wayne County Airport up to...

Thieves Steal 2,414 Horsepower Worth Of Vehicles In Michigan
You remember Furious 7, right? Specifically the scene where Dom and Brian are investigating a Lykan Hypersport that’s locked in someone’s penthouse apartment, leading to one of the most cringeworthy Vin Diesel lines of the series: “” A group of Michigan thieves appear to have taken that quote to...
