BMW Gran Turismo is the latest BMW development which will face luxury sport sedans, Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class.

So far this car is in concept stages, with no clear deadlines. We are also not aware of technical specifications nor the price tag. Guessing from the opposition, expect to find at least 400 horses, V8 and 4 liters under the hood with a price of ~$150,000+.

Below is a concept titled CS. So far it outranks(in my humble opinion) Porsche Panamera in looks, and is on equal footing in terms of charm against Aston Martin Rapide and Maserati Quattroporte. The farthest behind in looks (again in my humble opinion) is Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class.

The development of the car will be headed by M division, the sportiest of all mass produced beemers.

Munich. Gerhard judge (55), member of the management of the BMWS M GmbH, will take over the direction of the project for the new BMW Gran Turismo starting from January 2008. This vehicle became the public for the first time as Concept study on the automobile fair in Shanghai in the spring 2007 presents. It will round the BMWS off product range upward as important technology carriers. Albert Biermann (50) answered for in the future the development of the M and individual vehicles.

Come back next week for our look at Maserati Quattroporte limo.
