BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé

BMW has collaborated with Italian styling house Pininfarina, to create the outstanding Gran Lusso coupe. They decided to the complete unveiling at the 2013 Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza in Italy. This V12-powered concept coupe is a unique styling exercise at best. We have seen this show before. Remember the BMW CS Concept back in 2007? The super full-sized four door coupe they claimed was going to be the flagship vehicle, but wisely backed down because of the financial crisis. BMW was not the only automotive company to effected by the financial crisis. A lot of great concepts got scraped because of the same reason. BMW has implemented a lot of the styling elements of the CS into modern BMW models still to this day. There is something a little different about this one though. Its not that radical of a concept vehicle. Most of the technology Incorporated into the design of the vehicle is currently available.
