Recently, according to foreign media reports, BMW will produce the last batch of products equipped with V12 engines from June this year, and commemorate this moment by selling 12 M760i xDrive models in limited quantities. With environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction becoming the focus of future research and development of major car companies, large-displacement engines are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history. Especially for the European market, where the electrification policy is more aggressive, the living space of large-displacement engines has been extremely limited, and the more environmentally friendly and efficient hybrid system and pure electric drive system will become the mainstream in the coming period. However, I believe that there are still many people who still miss the passion brought by the large-displacement engine, so this limited edition M760i is even more significant.
In terms of appearance, the new car will not make drastic adjustments to the appearance, and the large size of the "double kidney" grille and the flat headlight shape are still retained. As a D-class executive sedan, the design of the new car will not be too radical, and the bumper design is more convergent, giving people the impression of being very stable and aura. The limited edition model will provide users with up to 80 kinds of personalized paint colors, consumers can choose according to their own preferences.
It is worth noting that the limited edition model released in the US market is the M760i xDrive, which is the standard axle version, so the side styling will be more compact than the long wheelbase version sold in China. The side of the new car also maintains an elegant and sleek design, while the blackened 20-inch multi-spoke rim and multi-piston M Sport brake calipers also highlight its more performance-oriented positioning. At the same time, the brake calipers of the new car can be painted in black or blue. At the rear, the through-the-line taillights have not changed, but the M760i logo and the logo of the V12 in many places still highlight its distinctive identity.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 6.6T twin-turbo V12 engine, with a maximum power of 448 kilowatts, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 3.6 seconds. It is reported that BMW officials recommended a limited edition model to users who had purchased the M760i, which started at $200,000, equivalent to about 1.27 million yuan. And the official will also give away custom trophies for users who buy limited edition models, and the delivery time of the new car is expected to be July this year.
