A teaser video showing the next generation BMW 7-Series has hit the web and BMW itself has confirmed an international reveal on the 10th of June 2015.

We’ve seen plenty of pre-production prototypes of the flagship luxury sedan, but this is the first time we’ve had anything official that points to a launch date. In the video, we can see the expected luxury and premium touches will be the order of the day and the 2016 BMW 7-Series will also feature a prominent grille with laserlight headlamps.

More details arescarce as BMW is protective of its flagship model, but has confirmed the model will be around 130kg lighter than the previous car due to a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic body structure. It’s called Carbon Core and is a great way of keeping things rigid and strong, without compromising overall weight. The next generation of TwinPower Turbo engines as well as a two-axle air suspension with auto self-leveling will also make an appearance in the 2016 BMW 7-Series. Being the flagship model, technology in the car promises to be next level, with a remote parking system as well as a gesture-controlled iDrive Touch Display infotainment system.

Will the 2016 be good enough to match the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a vehicle that dominates the segment? BMW hopes so and past 7-Series vehicles have been generally good to drive. The countdown to10th of June 2015 begins.
