2018 Frankfurt Auto Show: BMW Concept 8 Series

The fourth concept introduced this week at the 2018 Frankfurt Auto Show is the revived 8 Series Coupe.
The BMW Concept 8 Series previews the production luxury coupe which goes on sale this year.

The study continues the successful tradition of large coupes from BMW and interprets classic design attributes in a new language of form.

In contrast to the squarish proportions of its predecessor, the new 8 Series Concept features lines that flow like water over its Barcelona Gray Liquid body.

At the front, we can see that the kidney grilles are actually made of one grille surround, which is a BMW first.

At the rear end, we get a close look at the taillights, which have some genuinely interesting geometry to them, as they stick out and create interesting shapes.

From the back, the Concept 8 Series looks particularly unique from other BMW's.

One can easily sport the wide, horizontal taillights with L-shaped OLED elements, along with rear spoiler molded into the trunklid and trapezoidal exhaust tailpipes.

Powertrain options remain unknown at this point, but the coupe could borrow engines from the 7 Series, including a 3.0-liter turbo-six, a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8, and even a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12.
The M8 was already previewed by BMW.
