BMW Concept Gran Coupe

BMW will build its Gran Coupe concept car, the company’s development chief Klaus Draeger said. The production Gran Coupe will rival luxury coupe-styled four-door cars such as the Mercedes CLS, Audi’s upcoming A7 and the Porsche Panamera. Draeger said the production version will be positioned close to the BMW 6-series. It is still undecided whether the Gran Coupe will get hybrid drive, Draeger said. The Gran Coupe will launch in 2012, following the debut of the new two-door 6-series coupe next year.
