BMW Concept Likely To Spawn Sedan
BMW is likely to spawn sedans to top its model range in the coming years. The upcoming premium four-seat sedan will be based on a concept vehicle shown at the Shanghai auto show.The BMW Concept CS was undeniably one of the breathtaking stunners of April’s Shanghai Auto Show. The sleek coupe-like vehicle with four doors has pulled mostly raves and lots of hints from BMW executives that the CS is a car they would like to see built. The Concept CS is a low-slung, four-seat sport sedan equipped with cutting edge auto parts like the improved BMW clutch disc, engines, radiator, suspension and more.
The forthcoming sedan car will be designed to rival vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS and the upcoming Porsche Panamera. Both competitors call their cars coupes. But like the BMW show car, they have four doors and a low roofline.
The Mercedes Benz CLS-Class, based on the coupe version of the E-Class model, uses the automaker’s W219 designation. The car marked the return of the automaker to the executive-size coupe market since the termination of E-Class coupe variant. According to a Mercedes-Benz press release, the CLS-class was produced to combine the “strong, emotive charisma” of a coupe with the “comfort and practicality” of a sedan.
The Porsche Panamera, on the other hand, is a four-door, four-seat coupe set to be launched in 2008. The front engined and rear wheel drive coupe is powered by an enhanced version of the 4.5 L V8 found in the Cayenne. The coupe is said to be the longed-for fruit of Porsche’s 989 concept from the late 1980s.
The BMW Concept CS illustrates that the automaker is “predominantly interested in building very beautiful luxury sport sedans.It has aerodynamic style and presence, which is important for customers in that category.”
BMW has always had a very tight community following. Analysts say that the German car maker is one of the few automakers that support driving their cars to their limits, suggesting “spirited driving” in certain operation manuals. This reputation is well secured by the German automaker. This is why the company is absorbed in producing remarkable cars for sale with exceptional performance, ergonomics and styling.
