7 series Of Yaoying Special Edition, domestic price of 2.612 million
When this generation of BMW G11/G12 7 series was officially released, everyone was lamenting the various black technologies it was equipped with, the original D-class sedan body can also use so much high-strength carbon fiber material, the original car key can also be remotely parked, the original gesture action can also be played like this... Hey? What does a tablet on the center armrest in the rear row do?
And when you think of the top flagship V12 series, what is the experience of accelerating 3.7 seconds from 100 kilometers to a D-class executive sedan? I think you can only really feel the depth of the car when you sit in the car and step on the accelerator deeply!
I know that in many people's minds, the V12 engine is a totem-like existence, but to know that the current eight-cylinder or even hybrid six-cylinder engine data is very close to the V12 engine, and the trend of small displacement is irreversible. What is a true flagship? If a domineering president wants to buy a machine with administrative-level space, multi-cylinder high horsepower, and can be very cool when he drives it, then BMW's top flagship M760Li must be a topic that cannot be avoided, but unfortunately, the next generation of 7 Series does not have a V12 model...
Times have changed, the next generation of BMW G70 7 series will be officially released in 2022, pure electric version i7 will also come, according to the news, xDrive50 maximum output power 480hp, in addition, pure electric series will have a high probability of 40 and M60, the latter or will be equipped with 120kWh battery pack, output power or will exceed 650 horsepower, reach 670/700 horsepower, endurance of about 700 kilometers.
Although there is no V12, the largest power data is also replaced by pure electric i7, but the V8 should still have, 750ix models will be equipped with an engine codenamed S68, the maximum output power of 535hp, if the news is accurate, it should be the same engine as XM but the power is reduced, in addition to the six-cylinder B58 version, as to whether it will fully join the light mix? It's not known.
Considering that the current charging infrastructure is not yet perfect, and the acceptance of pure electric models in various markets is different, BMW's attitude is to provide a variety of power models including diesel, gasoline, hybrid, pure electric and other power models in the future for a period of time, leaving the choice to consumers. Wise approach!
I still want the V12's underpinnings.
Even if you don't need that much horsepower...
