These are the newest spy photos of the upcoming BMW 6-Series. We’ve already seen the convertible, and this one almost looks like it has a folding hard top, but the shooter assures us that this is indeed the coupe.
The ever-controversial BMW X6 may not be the most practical or overtly stylish of vehicles, but there’s no doubt that it stands true to BMW’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” mantra. For 2011, however, the X6 will no longer use the delicious twin-turbo inline-six used across the rest of the BMW range (codenamed N54), and will instead be powered by the automaker’s new N55 twin-scroll, single-turbo six, which we recently had the chance to sample in the 2011 BMW 535i sedan.
Despite its protean unofficial release date, Gran Turismo 5 is taking steps toward completion, as evidenced by yet another batch of screenshots and a video, these depicting the Toyota FT-86 concept.
We have just received the cover art for the upcoming PS3 title, Gran Turismo 5. We’re happy to see our favorite new gullwing, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG on the cover.
The BMW 7-Series is already a pretty potent performer with either the twin-turbo V-8 (750i) or the range-topping V-12 (760i). But a new report shows that BMW will be adding six-cylinder power to the 7 lineup in 2011, by way of the 740i and 740iL sedans.
During our drive through the woodsy, hilly roads of southern New York and northern New Jersey, there was one question that kept cropping up during every conversation about the new BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo: “What is this thing?”
We would imagine that by now, to tell our readers that the staff of Winding Road are huge fans of the Gran Turismo series of driving simulators would be roughly akin to telling them that water is wet—pretty obvious. That doesn’t make us at all unique, as millions of gamers with a jones for fast metal have known since the initial GT launched on the PlayStation One back in 1997. The Real Driving Simulator hit a resonant chord in that first year, and has continued to set the bar very high in each of its subsequent instantiations.
