2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupépinterest

Presenting the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe! OK, we present a rendering of what we think the M-badged Gran Coupe will look like. Up to this point, only camo’d versions of the M6 GC have been seen, but BMW recently confirmed the model for U.S. sales in 2013 and so we thought we’d provide an early peek at the car.

As you might expect, the M6 Gran Coupe will get M-specific wheels, aggressive fascias with bigger intakes up front, and M5/M6 hardware underneath. That means a 560-hp twin-turbocharged V-8, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and rear-wheel drive. A carbon-fiber roof panel, like those on the M3 and M6 coupes, is a possibility for the M6 Gran Coupe—and it’s depicted in our illustration—but we’ll have to wait and see whether BMW decides to officially adopt the woven lid.

Given its close relationship to the M5, it’s possible that the M6 GC will have steering, ride, and braking shortcomings similar to those we noted from the über-5er during its recent third-of-three comparison-test finish. If our rendering is accurate, at least the M6 Gran Coupe will look fantastic.
